Msc1 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hi, hoping someone can help. Have recently been suffering with a really bad wobbling/vibration, and I am pretty sure it's the engine mounts. I have changed the 2 up top in the engine bay, but the 13mm bolt underneath the car holding in the lower mount rounded off. Going to get it off this weekend but will need a new bolt. Does anyone happen to have the part number for this bolt? Plenty available on the bay, but unclear if this is the one I need. Pic of the bolt attached Thanks in advance. Would also welcome suggestions on the wobble! Tried changing the tyres with the spare on each side, and mechanically everything seems OK. Springs OK, no play in the wheels when jacked up, front rotors and discs changed 2 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msc1 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Sorry meant front pads and discs have been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHead1979 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 It think it should be either 11459787 or 1673431 depending on the gearbox fitted. MK1 Focus engine mounting parts The above link can be used to obtain more specific information, you just need to complete the earlier page with the exact vehicle details such as which engine variant and which gearbox etc, I've found that if you do this it will only offer multiple choices for a part if Ford actually fitted multiple parts i.e. changed from 1 to another mid production run.

Msc1 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Nice one! Turns out the bolt I bought yesterday was the wrong one so have now ordered the right one thanks to your advice. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries mate, I hope the current bolt doesn't prove to hard to remove. The same bolt on my MK2 took some serious force to shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msc1 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Bolt was seized as feared. Ended up having the grind the engine mount itself out! New one in now, but hasn't solved the wobbling 😤 Will try replacing the rear drop links next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Msc1 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 It was the drop links as it turned out. I changed all 4 at weekend and wobbling has gone. Relief! Hope this helps someone else who gets the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
