Hi, basicly im building a mk4 escort with a zetec turbo and focus mtx75 box. I have a pair of focus rs shafts been modified to fit my escort hubs, but one of the bearings are missing. (3 on each shaft) anyone know where i can get one from without buying a new shaft? I went to the local scrapyard and all the other focus's (petrol and deisel) have the rollar needle type bearings which are no good.

Any ideas anyone? Cheers.

 

Try mondeo ones

 

Measure your bearings and i will see if there the same size as the mondeo ones i have.

 

Ok thanks mate, will do when i go to the yard in a bit. Cheers

 

i'm a bit confused by the question, but use mondeo driveshafts, some focus ones are for ib5 boxes and some fit the mtx.
Mondeo ones fit the mtx box to a certain year anyhow, there can be two sizes of tri-lobe spiders though, but it's more likely for the splines to shear than the spiders to fail.

 

I alteady have the driveshafts i need, just after 1 more bearing mate. Unlike the roller needle bearings used on focus's and fiesta's, it needs to be a sealed type bearing. So its all 1 thing. It measures 38mm wide by 16mm deep.

 

The mondeo ones i have are 38mm by 16.5mm with an internal hole size of 20mm

 

Ah ok mate nice one, what year and model mondeo do i need to find?

 

The shafts i have came off a mk1 mondeo but all the mk2 ones are the same that use the mtx box.
