An All Ford Affair: 2 FAQs About Parts

Had Henry Ford been alive to date, he would definitely have been impressed to see the wide array of Ford model vehicles that dot the streets of nearly all major highways around the world. 

Spare parts and related accessories for Ford model vehicles are almost always readily available. Thus, Ford model vehicle owners should have no difficulty finding the right parts at the right price. This article answers two questions that a large number of Ford model vehicle owners may have when looking to buy Ford parts in Brisbane.

How Does One Identify Counterfeit Ford Parts?

The seemingly "ever-increasing" demand for spare/replacement parts is partly responsible for the proliferation of counterfeited Ford parts in the market.

When looking to establish the genuineness of Ford spare parts, vehicle owners should look for the mark of authenticity that distinguishes genuine parts from the counterfeits. Ford stamps all its OEM spare parts with the Motorcraft® or Blue Oval brand for easy identification even when placed alongside a myriad of counterfeit parts.

Also, counterfeit Ford spares tend to have an enticing price tag. Their cost is often significantly lower than that of OEM Ford parts.

Lastly, a large number of genuine Ford parts come with a generous warranty period. This period varies from one spare part to the other. More information on Fords parts covered by product warranties can be found here. It is important to point out that not all vehicle parts are covered by Ford product warranties.

Because Ford is a major player in today's automotive industry, the company treats matters related to counterfeit parts with the seriousness it deserves. That's why the people at Ford encourage their clients to share information whenever they run into counterfeit Ford parts at an auto repair shop (for example). The company guarantees their clients of discretion and confidentiality when acting on the information given.

Can Ford Parts Be Used Interchangeably?

The Mustang, Ranger and the Ford Everest are among today's most common Ford models. A large number of Ford vehicle owners may falsely assume that spare parts for their vehicles are manufactured using the "one-size-fits-all" philosophy.

Despite the several vehicle models, Ford takes pride in the fact that they manufacture parts based on their intended application, the model and make of the Ford vehicle as well as the year of manufacture.

Therefore, spare parts made for the Ford Mustang would not perform at their optimum level if they're used on the Everest. The reverse is also true.
