Focus Mk1 1998 Strut & Hub

[cstarq]

Hi guys, I have to replace my N/S strut and hub and managed to get both together cheap taken off a 1.6 focus 2002 year.

I have a 1998 T reg focus 1.8, anyone know if it will fit? Im 80% sure it will but some confirmation would put me at ease before i take it to mates to fit it!

Any help apprieciated, thanks guys

I'm not sure the struts will be the same to be honest. The knuckle/hub will be the same though

I see, ive been seeing abs and non abs hubs/strut parts. If i have a non abs focus and i bought an abs hub part, would the hub still fit?

I believe the hubs still fit, its just that they dont have the gap for the sensor connection?

IIRC they use different bearings but the abs knuckle will still fit.

Hi on the front strut line i have just purchsed a st170 04 plate and need to refresh the suspension all round no rust on the rest of car but sus has it all, can i replace front struts with mk1 rs units or should i look at a later model, same with the rear, havent had a ford since a mk1 escort so am out of touch with what fits, but i think its the pensioner in me trying to get out any advice welcome.
