H8XME Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi guys, any one had any issues with rust? As on my focus which isn't even a year old the rear suspension arms are falking paint and showing rust, I had this issue on my 2005 focus :( poor quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael9 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 It's everywhere not just ford, everything from cars to toasters, nothing's built for quality now or very little. It'll still be under warranty take it back and kick up hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 only the body paintwork will be rust free, underneath components are not painted/sealed to stop rusting, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 As above, anything that's out of sight isn't given more than a token covering of paint, just enough to stop it corroding in the factory. It's the same with all manufacturers. If it bothers you the only option is to clean it up and paint it yourself. The rear drums on my 2010 hatch were well rusty when I bought it and were very visible through the 5-spoke wheels so I've cleaned them up and painted them black. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_60 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 the suspension components etc are not galvanised, if you want paint them with black hammerite paint, Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
