Vehicle Application and Placement
The described seat base adjustment has been designed for installation on the front passenger side of the vehicle. It is responsible for the correct support of the seat cushion and the transfer of loads to the body structure. Thanks to its factory fit for the Ford Transit Custom, the correct seat geometry is maintained, which is important for both ergonomics and the operation of passive safety systems.
Seat Cushion Adjustment Function
The base is part of the seat cushion adjustment system, enabling:
- setting the seat height or tilt (depending on seat configuration),
- stable guidance of the adjustment mechanism under user load,
- maintaining the correct structural rigidity of the seat in daily use.
A correctly selected and functional adjustment base allows for comfortable seating on long journeys and reduces the risk of play, squeaking, or improper seat positioning.
Application of Original Ford Parts
Using an original Ford element in the seat area is important for safety and durability. The base's construction is adapted to the factory mounting points in the body and to the original Transit Custom seat frame. This ensures:
- compatibility with standard rails and adjustment mechanisms,
- no need for modifications to mounting holes or interference with the seat structure,
- easier compliance with technical inspection requirements and manufacturer standards.
Used Condition and Economic Benefits
The item is offered as a used part, which significantly reduces repair costs compared to purchasing a new OEM component. With proper technical condition verification, such a seat base adjustment is a reasonable compromise between price and functionality, especially in fleet and commercial vehicles where operational economics are crucial.
Selection and Compatibility with Part Numbers
When selecting a seat base adjustment for the Ford Transit Custom, it is crucial to compare the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers with the vehicle's data. This information is detailed in the technical specifications section and allows for verification of compatibility with the specific seat version and car year. If in doubt, it is advisable to compare the numbers with the markings on the old part or service documentation.
