Jonanstee Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm looking at replacing the rear struts and mounting plates soon on my mk2. Does the mounting plate screw straight in or is there bolts behind the interior trim ill need to get to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 It screws in from the outside/wheel arch area. 2 bolts at the top and a nut and bolt on the bottom of the strut. Then with the assembly out there is a nut holding the mount onto the strut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie eastwood Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Did both top mounts on my 2006 Focus Saloon about six weeks ago, check if these are compatible for your Focus. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BIRTH-REAR-AXLE-SHOCK-ABSORBER-MOUNTING-STRUT-MOUNTS-OE-QUALITY-REPLACE-51460-/142055147634?epid=628772641&hash=item2113258872:g:tBMAAOSw7GRZCMG2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was meant to quote eddie in that one but forgot to and have no clue how to delete it so just resent underneath with him quoted :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
