mk2 facelift

Are the rears independant from the shock? i.e just a case of jacking the car and removing the spring?

Whats the best deal at the moment and where from?

 

Yes thats right. If your lucky the bolt will come out that attaches the lower arm to the hub then the spring will just drop out.

The fronts are a total bastard to do, real long winded job. Gotta take wiper arms off, scuttle panel off, takes ages!

 

Wtf seriously mate? all that needs to come off for the front?

 

Yes, because the plastic scuttle panel cover fits over the top of the shock top mounts, so it needs to come off and there's about 10 million clips holding it in. Got to take the wipers off to get the scuttle panel off too!

 

Ok, cheers mate

 

Is that the same on all focus's. Mine being 2006 mk2 1.8tdi.

 

Will be mate they are both the same car

 

Sorry, just sen your mk2 post. I'll wait to see how you fair

Didnt think there would be that much to it. Was going to either ask one of my mates whos a mechanic and in teh know when teh time comes or take it to a local garage where they do this type of stuff..At Ł29 an hours, i'll think i'll rope mymate into doing it..

 

Yeah I plan on roping in a mate
