@@1AAuto seriously, did this model simply "NOT" have a sway bar in the rear at all?

As I watch this, my mech is doing this job on my granddaughter's 00 Focus. I don't have the facilities and equipment to do this job myself, but that's why I have Bob (my mech)! I'm going to have my granddaughter watch this video, though, so she has an understanding of what he's doing, and she'll understand why it costs so much! Thanks for a detailed and thorough video!

What n awesome video, my focus needs both front n rear subframe, now I have this video as reference to do it myself. I can't imagine how much it cost to have a shop do it, thanks A1 Auto mechanic!

@brandonpeterman9964 4 года назад

I'm pretty sure you can use a rear subframe from a 2013 focus as well. I've been looking into it for my 03 focus. As long as the body mount locations are the same it should work since it's practically the same rear suspension with just a few updates. You can't use any of the suspension components due to changes in how they separately mount the but the subframe itself should be useable

Great video - thank you. I have 2 Focuses - 02 and 05. You probably should mention that after the install you probaby want to have the rear suspension aligned (rear toe). Paul

I recommend taking a wire wheel to the frame to totally clean up the rust and get some rust resistant paint to cover over it.

@Dave-co1cv 2 года назад

Very good video! I do strongly recommend you ALWAYS wear eye protection when working under a car. Even a small flake of rust can simply drop off and land in your eye, which can really mess up your day. 😮

@BearBudgetgarage Год назад

Thanks, really complete instruction on the repair👍👍👍a lot of Michigan cars being sold cheap for this very reason because owners don't want to deal with it. Those who are not afraid to put in the work, can get some great deals

Im working on my 01 zx3. Ive been following these videos.

@transporter1387 3 года назад

Good instructional video. At least you had a typically rusty car to deal with! most vids show pristine/clean cars being worked on! Sheared and broken bolts are the norm! Not clean threads :-)

Aren't you supposed to use alignment pins on these subframes? Or do the domed point parts locate it? I was about to buy some pins but im not sure now as you didn't use any

Could you guys give me a rough estimate of what this repair would cost WITH. A full brake job as well for a 2002 Ford Focus SVT?

@vprince9907 2 года назад

Would it be okay & good idea to put bit of anticipation seize on those two center 15mm bolts through the spring into frame so it won't be hard to remove later down road...and I grasp what you said bout using thread locker on 6 bolts

@qualityreno9689 2 года назад

Great video! Where did you get the subframe from? It's not listed at your website

@vprince9907 2 года назад

I have to change the rear sub frame unit on my 2007 Ford edge sel awd suv which the alignment adjusting bolts do not have any metal on frame to catch onto when attempting to set rear wheel alignment. Are there any videos on how I am to proceed to pull entire rear sub frame down to replace with unit that has better metal for those alignment adjustment bolts to grab when setting alignment on rear wheels. I took it to Mavis tire 4 alignment and they can set front wheel alignment not rear though.

@J_A_M_E_92 Год назад

Couldnt help but notice the rear forward control arms didnt look straight, are they supposed to look like that or is that an issue? At 6:18 of the video

@ryanseidel1357 3 года назад

Looking on your website, do you sell a loaded rear subframe like you used in the video?

@1AAuto 3 года назад

+Ryan Seidel Thank you for your interest, but we do not carry loaded rear subframes. The new one was pulled from the salvage yard.

Is this car rear sub frame exact same type the Ford edge uses on model years 2007 through 2010 by any chance ?

@austinharding9734 3 года назад

concerning grinding those bolts, is it a risk doing that - with the level of rusting - so close to the EVAP canister and or fuel components in case ther rusted thru an there could be a leak, basically could those sparks cause an explosion, mesa go boom boom or the grand daddy of all bonks?

@richardhaywood4123 3 года назад

Probably safer to break the plastic around the bolts then use new bolts and washers to refit it.

@lennartsunden2836 2 года назад

use an air chisel! much safer!! and much quicker,goes in a second!

@lightningsmokerXx 2 года назад

*For anyone watching this:* Don't let your car get to this point, have : Krown Rust Control's T40, Rustcheck, Fluid Film , Wool Wax, Corrosion Free Rust Cure Formula 3000 or equivalent sprayed on your car yearly , it avoids this happening. Do not used rubberized undercoating/ asphalt based undercoating, it is a nightmare to deal with and in the end flakes off and accelerates rust. I live in the Rust Belt, i've seen the difference between spraying and not spraying your cars , and the difference is night and day.
