Ford Taurus Gen 3 Front Suspension Exploded Diagram - Part Numbers (1996-1999)

This document is an exploded parts diagram from a Ford parts catalog, labeled "Catalog: Taurus - E, Section: 30 FRONT SUSPENSION & STEERING," dated 9/26/2000 (plate P-30907). It illustrates the front suspension assembly of the Ford Taurus, showing the strut and coil spring assembly (5310), strut mount components (3B154, 18183, 3B455), stabilizer bar and links (5486, 5K484, 5482, 5493 bushings/insulators), steering knuckle (3K185), front hub (1104, 1107), lower control arm (3078, with bushing 3C067), and associated fasteners. Each component is called out with a Ford base part number and, for hardware, a full engineering fastener number (e.g., N803766-S60, N804608-S150, W520214-S60). A legend indicates which parts apply to the SHO model only (green squares: 3C212, 3C209, 5C561, 5359, 5C188, etc.), which fasteners are knuckle-to-caliper (#), and which items are part of the 5304 dust shield kit (%). Some bolts show applicability splits by year and size: W500746-S426 (1996/98, 12MM) versus W705677-S301 (1999/, 14MM), and W520214-S60 versus W520215-S427, indicating the diagram covers roughly 1996-1999+ third-generation Taurus vehicles. Readers can use it to identify part numbers for replacement suspension components and hardware.
