MichaelAge Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hello guys, I got myself an older Ford focus 2005 1.6 petrol and there are 2 bolts missing at the rear on bottom. Can you please tell me, what kind of screw is there so I can buy them an put them in? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 what your circling is the antiroll bar, the whole link is missing, not just the bolt. you need the nut, bolt and rubber bushes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hopefully you have a suspension link on the other side like this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelAge Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 It's missing on both sides... OK thanks for the answers I'll try to search for the parts https://www.eurocarparts.com/search/632590055?type=shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwyrvaBRACEiwAcyuzRNoVT2BcihmTi001OWbwvFfvuiF1FaRtHWY4HRxGfy17DGeSReidpRoCoAAQAvD_BwE Is this it?

I am taking it to Halfords for free safety check on Saturday, maybe if I order them they'll fit it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am taking it to Halfords for free safety check on Saturday, maybe if I order them they'll fit it for me There is another type of rear drop link for the MK2 Focus, they're more of an L shape but they only fit the cars with the uprated lower control arm (saloon, estate and ST etc). Your lower control arm is straight rather than having a "kink" in it like the uprated ones so you should be good to go with the type linked in the earlier posts. I agree with @williamweb, you really shouldn't be driving with the rear drop links missing/not connected. I'm sure you're car would currently be classed as not road legal/safe and if you're involved in an accident you might well find yourself in a lot of trouble.

MichaelAge Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 OK thanks for your advices guys, I'll have it fixed as soo long as possible.. I just don't understand why the first ones are £30 and the second ones are £6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand why the first ones are £30 and the second ones are £6 It's because the 1st ones are from a company with a good reputation who are also the OEM supplier for some manufacturers. The 2nd one is from a company that I've never heard of and at that price has likely been put together as cheaply as possible i.e. soft steel and rubber than doesn't last long etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 You won't notice the rear drop link missing tbh...the car won't suddenly roll over without it lol. You can actually see these when rolling up to other Focus' in traffic...it's surprising how many are completely missing these days! The cheap ones will break and fall off again quickly. But you should be able to get them cheaper than £30!! 😮 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelAge Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 So I've stopped on the way from work and checked same car and now I'm sure what I need. So I've bought ones from a German manufacturer for £13 and will fit them myself. Got a quote for £90 for parts with fitting.. That's just ridiculous..

williamweb Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Easy to diy.15 Nm to torque the links if you can be bothered 👍 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
