Hello,

 

I'm looking for a particular spring nut for a MK2 Focus (2007 1.6 Ti-VCT, if it matters). It connects the front wing to the subframe. I have circled it in red here:

I've looked on 7zap, (https://ford.7zap.com/en/car/43/1.19852/0/1660/16061/70164/), but I'm not sure which nut it is. All the spring nuts shown there are circular on both sides, but the one on the car has an oval opening on the bottom that fits into a slot in the subframe:

(As you can see, this one is broken - hence my need for a replacement)

Does anyone know which part number this is, or where I can source one? It may be that I'll need just to go to a breakers and show them these photos to get the specific part I need, in which case fair enough.

 

Thanks!

Thanks! If I can't find the specific part I'm looking for that does seem like it would be a suitable substitute

Ford part number: 1084756

Try this kit on Amazon, it possibly has the size you need:

By the way, your broken one is not supposed to have an oval hole. It has just worn that way since the fixing bolt has been loose. A new clip is only very slightly off round due to the way they are stamped out of spring steel.

Oh that is interesting. I would never have known!
