Rear strut mounting

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?

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.

Its the two bolts at the top i wasn't sure about if id have to get under the interior panel to put a nut on the other side.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

Did both top mounts on my 2006 Focus Saloon about six weeks ago, check if these are compatible for your Focus.

They fit but i've already ordered some from elsewhere haha.

 

Just wasn't sure if i needed to remove the interior panel to get nuts on the other side or not.

 

Thanks anyway :)

no you don't need to remove anything other than the wheel.

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 :)
