Friday go into the local ford delearship to order some parts.

2 x tripod bearing for the st170 driveshafts.(to fit my custom length shafts ive had made)

These are specific to the focus st170 and not kept on shelf, fair enough be in for Tuesday.

Get a call today, these are not avaliable please call in for refund.

So great im thinking!

Arrive at Ford at quarter to six...

Yes mate sorry there not available sepertly like all the other Focus ones.

You have to buy a complete shaft for the st170...

£298.00 EACH

Ive just paid 600 for new shafts to be custom made then £40 a pop on new c.v. joints.WTF am i wanting to buy the whole shaft for a bearing on the end

Unfortunalty not, the whole transmission on the st170 6 speed including the brackets that mount the shaft on the sump are unique.

Even the Focus Rs ones use the same as all other focus models.

The st170 box is a joy to fit in a Fiesta all.


GUS - Ford discount even trade prices are a joke


Kev - cheers for that il give them a ring first thing
