2013+ Ford Focus TB Performance Front Strut Bar Installation

[@gregg8177]

Jason - love your videos - very helpful. The reality of what you run into and how you deal is great. Just a regular dude helping us other regular dudes get stuff done! Thanks again. Did you ever get to road test? Did it help the handling?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Gregg yes handling has been better since the install.

[@anonamos6086]

Interesting. I haven’t seen anyone reuse the bottom cowl piece with this bar yet. I’m about to install mine and I’m on the fence about putting that piece back on.

Thanks for watching!

Hi Any video on how to replace rear left door actuator for ford focus 2008 SE 2.0 LT ??

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Thanks For Watching!!!

[@thegoot216]

Is this car an st? Looks Exactly like my 2014 Ford Focus se hatchback! Same boilt locations and everything. I'm thinking this would Fit the SE HATCHBACK MODEL? u think so?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Yes they are 99% identical. Yes it will fit

[@thegoot216]

@@FatGuyBuilds awesome thanks for the info brother!

[@thegoot216]

I Have bc racing coilovers and I desperately need a way to be able to adjust the dampers on top of my shock towers. It's almost impossible to with the stock one. This looks like my answer to my problem.

[@Wolf-pm3mp]

Are there specific torque specs you used for all the bolts that mounts the bar down to the vehicle? Thanks.

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Thanks For Watching!!!

[@AnthonyMcqueen1987]

Will this strut bar work for 2012 Ford Focus SE ?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Yes that should be the first year

[@okaythen001]

Thanks for the vid. For struct bar should you upgrade in pair (front strut and rear strut) at the same time? And for sway bar and strut bar they both improve handling right, what's the difference.

[@FatGuyBuilds]

rear upper isn't needed. rear lower would be a good upgrade as well as front lower each one improves the handling.

[@okaythen001]

@@FatGuyBuilds Sorry which one is rear upper? How about rear traction bar do they help much in corners thanks.

[@FatGuyBuilds]

@@okaythen001yes the front and rear "under car" bars help stiffen the body in turn giving the car a solid feel and better cornering.

[@FatGuyBuilds]

@WhiteBlurr ST only thing that ever added nvh for me was motor mounts

[@nicholasciappa548]

one side of the lock washers is giving me the issue of going against the flow but no way I put it on changes it! HELP!

[@FatGuyBuilds]

crush it down a little with vice grips, then just keep working on it and you will eventually get it.

[@drzflyest4]

How does this improve over the factory strut tower bar?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

less body flex, easy access to adjust shocks. worked out well for wheel hop and fast corners.

[@theillestjerm]

nice install vid. Are you doing a traction bar as well from them?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Jeremy Gutknecht the rear lower subframe video is up all ready.

[@cctvspystore]

coo... thanks again Jason for sharing this instructional install

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Thanks For Watching!!!

[@boboutelama5748]

What are the power gains after such an installation ?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

LOL.... what!? ZERO.... it is all about better handling!

[@unoriginalfly]

Great vid! What did you use to cut the under cowl piece?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

angle grinder

[@unoriginalfly]

Thanks. Knew that sucker would come in handy again after grill shaving

[@alonzobrekke4706]

Does this work for the 2017 ford focus sel?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

[@alonzobrekke4706]
