Well considering I had to replace the rear subframe all the bolts are already been out so this should be a breeze for me. May as well do the rear brakes while I’m at it. Thanks for the video!
The manual says the torque for the rear hub nut is 173 foot pounds. It should still spin without much effort (brake drag consider). But if the hub tightens up, the bearing could be bad. If the nut is not tight enough the bearing can burn out.
Nice video just so you know I've been having a fine and dandi time for the last 2 days lol 😆 I know what you mean about the bolts I've nearly completed taking the passenger side off and then to do the drivers side but yea only doing it as its the st170 and the rear suspension is only thing wrong with it but yea nice to see I'm not only one to encounter this lol thanks for the video yuup
keep up the good vids man. what year is this car. crazy the car have some complicated rear suspension and still have drum brakes in the rear...Ps:Can you make brake master cylinder rebuild video?
I have a Focus TDDI SW from 2002. It just made 200.000 km. This will be my next job. Since I listen to all kind of noises when it gets more bumpier. Do you think I'll have to change all bushings.
@@klowny1969already have. I have to replace the whole rear suspension on my mom's Focus I to go and order all new bolts $266.48 from a dealer ship no auto part store carries them
Where did you buy replacement bolts? I attempted to get the lower forward link (dogbone) off but encountered the same problem you did. I intend to cut the arm off an I suspect that I'll need bolts just like you mentioned at the start.
My driver side rear trailing arm is bent AF. Idk what happened. Lol. I bashed TF out of it with a big ass hammer and at least bent it back enough so the tire clears it for now. Imma try and pull the one out of my donor car but I'm probably gonna have to buy a new one :/
Just bashed tf outta mine spinning out on a mountain road. Mine is crumbled in towards the front of the car. The wheel doesn’t make contact but man I just put an alternator in it this morning lol.
@@klowny1969 When this MK1 focus came out , the new suspension was a ' revolution ' in 1998 . Here in the UK the MK1 Focus became a bit of an ' Icon ' car .. here a quote from a review of the suspension ( rear ? ) I think at the time , ahead of its time IMO. ; Key to that was the car’s Control Blade multi-link rear suspension that married the packaging of a simple trailing-arm set-up with the sophistication and geometry of a double-wishbone unit, masterminded by Ford engineer Richard Parry-Jones. It gave the Focus incredible agility, composure and ride comfort for something so affordable. thanks Graham near London UK
Yeah wow, that drum retaining nut was not done properly. I wonder if it stayed on the car forget about ruining the bearing. I wish you would revise this video with a caution and warning.
@@klowny1969 The Drum retaining nut that should be torqued to 173 foot pounds. The retainer that was snugged and backed off as would a normal bearing. This is not a normal bearing and has no cotter pin to keep the whole assembly Drum/Wheel from ejecting from the car. Don't get me wrong this was a really poor choice on Fords part. The fastener should also not be reused per Ford. I would update the notes to show the correct torque for the Drum Retaining Nut.
Probably one of the worst rear suspensions I’ve had to work on so far. Definitely not fun, and the bolts do tend to rust practically frozen into the bushing sleeves like he said. Not a job for the faint of heart DIYer.
That is more work than I expected. I did my own front arms and those were easier to replace. Kudos.
yes these can be a pain
That's a big job for a little car! Nice intro burnout in the Klownmaro!!
yeah it was..very frustrating that all the bolts were frozen..
I guess I'm pretty off topic but do anyone know a good website to watch new series online ?

You don’t have your take off the abs sensor. It fits through the oval hole easily.
Daaaaaaamn Klowny! What were you and Brianna doing in the back of the focus to break the trailing arm?!?!?!! 🍻
She likes it rough ;)
Klowny I have an 08 Chevy Impala need engine work oil pan gasket etc. I'm in Bronx any recommendations where to take it?
hi..sorry i dont recommend any mechanics..thanks for watching and commenting though

What kind of crazy suspension is this?
