  1. Mk2 Suspension, Steering & Chassis
    I’ve been replacing my suspension on my XR5, and have been trying to find an aftermarket replacement/upgrade for the rear lower control arms. I’ve heard that the sway bar link mount on the arm is prone to cracking and splitting. I’ve had no luck finding a replacement with a reinforced sway bar...
  2. Mk3 Suspension, Steering & Chassis
    Right experts, I need some help! I've got an annoying knocking noise coming from the rear of my MK3.5 ST250, general consensus is it's the passenger side. It’s only really at low speed on uneven roads, mostly on rebound. However doesn't do it over speed bumps. I've changed the shock absorbers...
  3. Mk2 Suspension, Steering & Chassis
    Hello! I have recently purchased my ST after it being a dream since I was ten! It’s called Tina. The car has either got RS reps or the winter pack RS wheels in as they are the same design but are 18inchs. They’re black and I really like them either way! I want the car to have the ‘stance’ and...

  5. Focus ST Mk3 Non Technical Discussion
    So I'm wringing this post for people who are in 2 minds about changing the shockers or not. I've had my 2013 St now for around 3 years. Not changed anything on it other than tyres (eagle F1) and doing modifications, So for the past few month my shocker was knocking so after lots of, should I...
  6. Mk3 Suspension, Steering & Chassis
    When I got my MK3 Estate, the previous owner had fitted some lower H&R coilovers, but he did supply the original springs. I replaced the H&Rs with the OEMs as the ride quality was rough, fine apart from that though. One of the springs was cracked when I took it off so I cant put them back on...
  7. Mk3 Suspension, Steering & Chassis
    Anyone any good advice to reduce the roll of the car and reduce understeer? Not a big fan of lowering the car as like the ride height especially on some of the roads i drive. I have 100s of ideas but really just want to reduce understeer and the roll in the corners. Planning the MP275 upgrade...
  8. Mk3 Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
    Hi all, New to this forum as I'm seeking some answers/advice. I bought my 2015 ST-3 TDCI in September of this year with 24k on the clock. It had 4 near-new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 tyres and around a month later I noticed a loud wobbling sound while driving. I had this issue before with...
  9. Focus ST Mk2 Non Technical Discussion
    Hello well today has been circled on my calendar for a while, Service Day! Been a little worried as my ST has 106k on the clock and over the months since I got it been noticing things that have apparently got me very paranoid (I will get to that in a minute!). I was convinced my suspension was...
  10. Mk3 Suspension, Steering & Chassis
    Been looking at getting the mountune sport spring kit for my focus st MK3 facelift, and theyve been out of stock for the last 2 months since I decided I wanted them. Ive contacted mountune and asked when they were likely to be back in stock and they said at a guess 5 weeks, its been longer than...

  12. Mk2 Suspension, Steering & Chassis
    Hi, I've worn through a set of tyres on the rear in 5000 miles. All 4 tyres were changed at the same time and the fronts usually wear much faster. All 4 tyres were Maxxis Victra-Sport 01 which I got when the wheels were refurbed (they are rubbish by the way, I will be putting Michelin PS04s...
  13. Mk2 Suspension, Steering & Chassis
    just noticed that when I pull away or am doing slow speed manoeuvring occasionally I hear a clunking/grinding noise for a second from the front of the car....guessing some suspension part is wearing out. Doesn't seem to make any noise once im moving (and it might be my imagination but seems a...

    Hi guys, Been lurking on here a while but first time posting. I bought a PFL Colorado Red ST back in December of last year. Had a little browse around before making this post but haven't come across anything, so figured I'd throw this out there. A month ago I had a few bits replaced...
  15. Ford Parts, Accessories and FINIS Codes
    So, I just had my MOT test today on my ST2-225 All passed but I got an amber advisory to replace my front (1 and 2) suspension bushes by the Ford dealership in Canterbury. Nearly brought a tear to my eye as its the very first expensive bill I've had after 5 and a bit years of happy ownership...
  16. Focus ST Mk2 Non Technical Discussion
    roll center adjuster kit - what a transformation, BIG thanks to AandK and HardRace for bringing such a quality product to ST. Understeer is no more. Car corners like go kart, makes me laugh at legal speeds! Sharp corners at 30mph where previously 20mph would be pushing it. I've got other...
  17. Mk2 Suspension, Steering & Chassis
    Hi guys. I wonder if you can help. On my last MOT I had the following advisory: "Front lower arm bushes cracked" I'm now looking to get the problem sorted. Am I correct in thinking this is the part in question: Am I also right in thinking that Ford don't sell the bushes alone, and a whole...
  18. Mk2 Gearbox, Clutch & Running Gear
    Guys I've been told that the driveshafts on the ST's once you increase the power can be a weak point. When accelerating more than 50% (can;t notice anything when driving normally), it feels as though the driveshafts are wobbling before they level out. I have absolutely no idea if it is...
