Selecting and Buying Car Parts for Ford
From engines and transmissions to brakes and suspension systems, you can find a whole range of genuine Ford parts online, which are meticulously designed to fit seamlessly into Ford vehicles, ensuring optimal functionality and fulfilling safety requirements. This guide looks into the types of Ford car parts, as well as the pricing and frequency of replacements.
Types of car parts for Ford: OEM vs genuine vs aftermarket
OEM Ford parts are made by a company that supplies the parts directly to Ford’s car production lines. They are designed to match the exact specifications and dimensions of the model. Genuine parts are virtually the same except that they feature the car maker’s logo and packaging instead of that of the parts manufacturer. You can find genuine Ford parts online or at a dealership
In the end, you can end up paying a fortune just for the genuine label. If you want to save a few pennies, you can buy OE-quality aftermarket parts instead. Some car owners are hesitant about purchasing from aftermarket brands as they fear that the parts won’t be compatible or last as long. Nowadays, however, you can easily find trusted manufacturers that offer Ford car parts that are equally as reliable as the originals.
Advantages and disadvantages
For a simple comparison of the pros and cons of each type of spare part, see the table below.
OEM | Genuine | Aftermarket | |

When to replace car parts for a Ford
The replacement interval for Ford car parts will vary depending on factors such as the type of part, the age of the car, and the conditions and climate it is driven in.
Reasons for replacements:
- Old age – as parts age, they become worn and less effective
- Collisions – Ford parts such as the suspension components can get damaged in the event of a crash
- Performance issues – if there is a fault, you may notice a decrease in the overall performance
- Routine maintenance – some parts require regular servicing to ensure smooth operation, i.e. the engine oil filter, car light bulbs, wiper blades
- Manufacturer recalls – occasionally, Ford has to recall certain parts as a result of production defects that make the vehicle unsafe to drive
- Tuning – perhaps it is time to upgrade the infotainment system or give your car a brand new customised look. There are many parts and accessories that allow you to alter the performance or aesthetics of the vehicle
Ford maintenance costs will vary depending on the model, how much work needs to be done, how accessible the spare parts are, and who does the repairs. Some components are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and can be replaced at an authorised Ford dealership.
Parts for Ford that need regular replacement
Some Ford spare parts are made to be replaced on a fairly regular basis, e.g., the engine oil filter and cabin filter. Meanwhile, there are others that you may never need to replace, such as the fuel tank or axles.

How to choose car parts for a Ford
We have already mentioned the types of Ford parts available on the market, but there are many more factors to consider when purchasing new or used products, including the manufacturer’s reputation, the materials used in manufacturing, and product compatibility.
- Customer reviews – reading through independent consumer and expert reviews will give you an idea of the quality and characteristics of the parts. There are a number of online sources for this, such as specialised review sites and car forums.
- Material quality – some parts have to be made with extra durable materials due to performance requirements and operating conditions. You can do a bit of research in advance and check for any Ford recalls or frequently reported weak spots to determine whether the factory parts may not perform as well as others.
- Brand reputation – it is important to choose trusted brands and retailers to avoid shoddy parts and counterfeit products. Genuine Ford parts are sold by trusted suppliers and should feature the telltale hologram original sticker and serial number on the packaging.
- Compatibility – to reduce the risk of choosing an incompatible part, search using vehicle-specific data such as your VIN or the OEM Ford part number for more accurate results.
Rules for choosing aftermarket parts if the OEM part is not available
When choosing Ford parts, you may not always be able to find affordable OEM solutions. A genuine Ford parts catalogue should contain a list of the OEM part numbers in the product descriptions that allows you to find the right ones. However, aftermarket parts often provide the best deals while still meeting the standards and specifications of the original manufacturer.
What to look for:
- Dimensions – you need to know whether the dimensions match those of the original part as it may not fit properly otherwise.
- Technical features/specifications – e.g., does the headlight come with a built-in electric levelling motor? What type of bulbs does the car need? You’ll need to consider whether the parts have all the necessary or desired functions.
- One piece or kit – are the parts sold separately or do they come as a set? For example, brake pads are usually sold in pairs because you replace all the pads on the same axle at the same time.
- Product design – for example, oil and air filters can come in a variety of shapes with different types of filter elements. The shape should be the same as the original part to guarantee a close fit.
- Manufacturer’s – it is best not to assume that the part’s warranty is the same as it is for the original Ford car parts. Check the product description or manufacturer’s website.
Using the Ford part finder
The simplest way to find compatible Ford car parts is with the user-friendly part finder tool on our website. It has a vehicle selection feature that allows you to select the make, model, year and engine size from the dropdown menu. This information can easily be found in the vehicle’s documents. You can then select the part via the online catalogue.
Alternatively, you can look up the OEM Ford part number and enter it into the search bar. This should bring up results that match the exact specifications of the original part and therefore your vehicle. You can also use the online contact form to request a compatibility check for a part if you want to make sure that it will fit.
How much are Ford car parts?
Prices for Ford car parts vary depending on the vehicle’s model and year of manufacture as well as the type of part you’re looking for.
Examples of price ranges:
- Clutch kit – prices for replacement clutch parts can be anything between £65 and £550. Larger Ford models are much costlier to repair, such as the Ford S-Max and Ford Galaxy.
- Brake pads – it’s usually recommended to replace the pads at the same time as the discs. You can find aftermarket parts online within a price range of £8 to £35.
- Brake discs – Ford brake discs are usually quite affordable costing around £10 to £60 per disc.
- Shock absorbers – you can expect to pay at least £30 for these components.
Are Ford parts expensive?
The good thing about these cars is that the spare parts are usually quite cheap and highly accessible. It certainly won’t break the bank in the same way that a Ferrari would. However, according to repair price comparison sites, the maintenance costs can be higher than those of other mid-range vehicles like Volkswagen. It often depends on the size and complexity of the model.
