ant_thomas Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hello, Just had an MOT failure on my 2003 Ford Focus MK1 TDCi Ghia. One of the issues is deteriorated rubber bushes on the rear tie bar/rod. Problem is I can't seem to find the correct bush/rubber to buy to do the job. Can someone give me a part number or point me in the right direction? All I seem to easily find on eBay is anti-roll bushes which aren't the correct item. Any help appreciated.

ant_thomas Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for confirming that. Assuming that is the part they're on about on the failure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If the word tie-bar was mentioned, the bush is mounted in the wheel arch. This is a different bush to in your photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks. I'll have another look since I've probably got the wrong part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamweb Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The tie-bar bush is located on the extended arm of the pressed steel hub carrier and is mounted up in the wheel arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
