Replacement of Stabiliser Bar Links

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Anti-roll bar

The stabiliser bar or anti-roll bar is connected to the front suspension via rods known as links, which have spherical joints at their ends: these joints tend to wear out and become noisy. Their replacement is extremely simple; just unscrew the fastening nuts of the ball joint stem while keeping the shaft fixed using a hex key (to unscrew the part attached to the shock absorber, the front wheel must be removed); once the link is removed, simply replace it with the new one and tighten the nuts in the same manner.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
