soulman123 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Ford focus 1.8 2004 petrol Hi all, new to the forum and a sad first post :( Seems I'm having a spot of bother, I noticed a noticeable clunk when you jerk it right. When done the other way to revs drop noticeably. Driving it feels fine, perhaps a bit heavier when compared with a mk4 golf but different cars an all. There is no loss of power steering fluid. I'm just wondering is this a sign of a failing PAS rack ? or is there some other reason for the clunk? If it is is this an expensive repair ahead for me ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alz Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi Soulman 123, is this the same thing you are getting, if ti is, its a common fault on early ford focus's, you will need a new rack try and get a new one fitted, and keep away from useing recon racks. it cost me loads to get my sons fixed, two recon racks and sill no good, in the end got ford to fit a new one, that fixed it, that was two years ago, don't waste your time and money on a cheap fix, you will pay for it in the end.. and yes it will cost you loads. also my son's focus was a 1999...
