This is a Genuine OEM Front Suspension Strut Mount Assembly, identified by the Ford part number AY1Z-3A-197B. This component is a factory-original part designed for the front suspension of the global Ford EcoSport subcompact SUV.
This part is crucial for securing the top of the MacPherson strut to the vehicle's chassis. Its primary purpose is to:
Isolate NVH: Use the OE rubber compound to absorb road shock, noise, and vibration.
Facilitate Steering: Provide a secure, low-friction pivot point for the strut, which rotates with the steering knuckles.
The design is symmetrical, meaning the same Genuine part number (AY1Z-3A-197B) is used for both the Front Left and Front Right sides of the vehicle.
Using the Genuine Part (AY1Z-3A-197B) ensures:
Guaranteed Load Capacity: It is engineered and tested by Ford to handle the specific weight and dynamic forces of the EcoSport platform.
Complete Solution: Since it is often sold as an assembly, it guarantees the correct mating between the mount and the bearing for optimal steering smoothness and reliability.
Fitment Confirmation: Confirmed fitment for the 1.5cc engine variant, as specified in your request.
Compatible Vehicle (Primary Applications - Check VIN for confirmation):
Ford EcoSport (Second Generation, B515 Chassis, approx. 2013–2022) - Fits 1.0L and 1.5L engines.
