Everything in this video took me 3 days but it's getting my Focus back on the road. This and your valve cover gasket video have helped so much!
And just like THAT,it ended up with a new lower control arm by the end of the video !!! 😂
Putting most of this method to an 07 focus. Was hit in the wheel pretty hard bend the control arm and tierod so wrenching and prybar was the strategy. Car on blocks as the wheels broke no lift for my project. 1 day in actually 3hrs. Have a spinning outter tierod bolt. A missing jam nut its spot welded sheesh. Back 21 or 13/16 top nut is rounded and rusted so someone attempted to repair and failed. Used a 12 point socket and jammed it on an angle and it held long enough to break it loose. Had to use needlenose to hold to finish removing that bolt/nut. The front 18/15mm was fine wrenching after penetrating fluid. Ball joint is beat up not much to pry on even if I had a pickle fork. No T50 to hold bolt still got it out and used punch to finish getting it out. Sway bar link busted top nut was easy. Bottom is low and behold spot wel no nut who was this person who owned. So need to cut it out wrenching isnt gunna work here. If i fail im gun a forgo the link on this side or have to replace the sway bar as it welded to the bottom link. Today skipped tomorrow will use jack to hold outter tierod end in knuckle and remove nut. Replace inner and outter tierod. Hopefully remove ball join and replace control arm. And possibly remove lower link.
Y'all just buy the tools or rent them from auto part store save yourself the extra work. Great video thank you guys very much for what you do you make it possible for those who never done these things before.
One of the best instructional videos I have seen Well done.
Great video. I appreciate your attention to all of the tips👍
Question, what is the missing tool you didn’t have to remove the inner tie rod explain
Thank you. Watching your video helped me do this job, very much needed, in my vehicle today.
Has anyone noticed that they changed the lower control arm at
Great
Nice video. Thanks. I noticed you replaced the control arm and end links. Most Focus owners will find that while you're in there for the inner tie rod end you should go ahead and do the whole control arm, end links, and a brake job too. Go ahead and do it all and only get dirty and cuss all in one day :) Also at this point in it's life, it probably needs both motor mounts and the transmission mount. All 3 are fairly easy to do. You will have lots of vibration and engine noise when they are bad.
Thanks for posting. Well explained and demonstrated; sadly for me this is waaaaaaaay out of my skill set. Looks like one of the local garages is going to be getting my money...
Just what I need. Exactly. You guys are cool at 1A Auto. Thanks!
Just watched and ordered inner tie rods , and front wheel bearings for 2009 Ford Fusion.👍🏼
These videos are the best. Thank you very much.
I rented the "special" tool from Auto Zone when I replaced a tie rod on a 2009 Ford Focus but I wasn't able to loosen it even with the tool. I think it was worn and kept slipping off, so I welded the ball of the joint to the fitting. I was changing the outer end also, so I welded it to the rod also. Then it was easy peasy to unscrew it by using the box end of a large wrench through the outer end. It was easy to unscrew it from there with all the leverage I needed. I apologize if I wasn't clear but I hope you got the idea. Welding the inner joint together and unscrewing it from the outer end is the trick. Just be careful and protect the rack and other parts with some type of fire retardant cloth and keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Good video it showed all the detail.
great camera shots and detailed instructions.
fantastic mate keep it up
