Front Suspension Wishbone Replacement

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Suspension system

If you hear noise coming from under the wheels while driving on uneven surfaces, it is likely that the rubber bushes, which are present in the suspension mounts and serve to dampen shocks, have failed. There are also kits available for refurbishing the rubber bushes, but when damage affects all the mounting points of the wishbone, it is preferable to replace the entire wishbone. The operation is very simple: once the vehicle is lifted on a ramp, remove the front wheel and then the fixing bolts of the wishbone and the ball joint; then fit the new wishbone and tighten it securely.
