The rest of the silent blocks are changed according to the same method on the completely removed levers. The assembly is carried out in the reverse order. Soft and quiet suspension for all and vivid travel impressions!

Let it not be in the topic of construction, which dominates on this site, but I still did not find a sensible guide for repairing the Focus rear suspension, collecting information in fits and starts on the forums. Hope it comes in handy for someone! Go.
All owners of the second Focuses sooner or later are faced with the repair of the rear suspension. First of all, the idea comes to visit a car service, where a price comparable to the purchase of used Zhiguli will be announced for this procedure. The service is not to blame, the idea belongs to Henry Ford, who offered to sell cheap cars and expensive spare parts for them, but this is not about that now. If the owner of the Focus has everything in order with his hands, a tool and has a piece of land or a garage, then there is an option to save money and repair everything with his own hands. In this article, using my example, I will show you how to do this. It's about Ford Focus 2 pre-styling wagon 2006.
First you need to prepare.
We need the following tool:
set of heads;
a pair of sets of open-end wrenches;
hexagons;
hammer just in case;
three-legged puller;
car jack;
hydraulic jack;
ties for springs;
vdshka or other similar slurry;
in a bad situation angle grinder or in the common people "grinder" with a disc diameter of 125 mm. This is important because 115 is missing there;
lithol;
a device for pressing out oil seals (we will dwell on it in more detail below);
a bunch of scraps from the boards. You will definitely need to put something. I have a construction site, so there was no problem with that;
a couple of days of free time (maybe someone will do it faster, but I got that much);
We put the ties on the spring, squeeze it as much as the ties allow. Most likely, it will not be possible to remove it, but this is not necessary.
We lift the main lever on which the wheel is installed
and unscrew the bolt that holds the spring arm.
We take out the spring, move the lever down so as not to interfere.
We unscrew the upper and lower wishbones, and at the same time the shock absorber from the bottom.
Remove the handbrake cable from the hook.
We unscrew the small bolt in the photo below, it is the wires going to the traction control system (ABS) sensor
Disconnect the ABS terminal and unscrew the 2 bolts that hold the wishbone.
We carefully set it aside, trying very hard not to damage anything. We wipe the sweat from our forehead, take a break. Now there is free access to the transverse upper and lower arms, it's time to replace them.
Here it is the silent block of the longitudinal rear arm.
I have it even in normal condition, but since I started replacing it, I need to change it. The trouble is that you have to squeeze it out. do not try to knock it out, it is useless. This is where we need a special device in the form of a metal cylinder. I was made by his familiar turner at a very low cost. I know that turners are in short supply these days, but they are there!
It is a cylinder with a diameter of 58 mm, a height of 70 mm, an inner diameter of 35 mm and a glass depth of 50 mm. We put on the puller and gently press
The glass allows you to evenly press on the entire silent block and it slowly comes out
Here is the result. Extruded silent block
We change the silent block to a new one and press it into place. Try to position it the same way as the old one. I mean the location of the "ears". The photo below shows the final stage. Pay attention to the plates, I put them so that the adaptive glass would stand level.
It remains to unscrew the spring-loaded lever. This was the most difficult action for me, both levers did not want to unscrew and I had to cut them down. It is not very pleasant, especially lying under the car, but what to do. necessary! The lever is attached to the beam with an eccentric bolt and two neat cuts must be made between the lever and the beam. As a result, we get such an old lever with a sawed-off bolt.
Further, we collect everything in the reverse order. I would recommend that you first assemble everything without tightening it, put a jack under the lever, as in the photo below. This will simulate a wheel on the road and the rubber bands will fall into place.
After that, you can stretch everything thoroughly. In this way, for a couple of days off at the dacha, you can save a decent amount. And have a good time!
rear suspension: levers, silent blocks, stabilizer struts
1,357,317 (sedan, hatch), 1,357,319 (wagon)
Levers from Focus-2 have a subtle, but still quite important feature - they have a hole for screwing the stabilizer reinforced with a welded plate (a hole in the middle of the lever). Not one replacement issued by Exist has this overlay, therefore, the applicability is indicated only for Focus-1. You can put it on, but you can either weld on the reinforcement, or more often watch for the appearance of cracks from this hole. Levers from both generations are "bent" and "straight", depending on the type of stabilizer. They are not interchangeable without redesigning the stabilizer. (a source)

Aleoka Good day! Please tell me the craftsmen who made the rear suspension for you. And at the same time, how has she walked since then? With admiration, Krbatov Pavel.
yeah, I think many will be interested to know what you have with the rear suspension after repair - still alive and in what condition. Please answer
I propose to throw here a brief generalized information on the repair of the rear suspension and then transfer it to the FAK. I could not find what I needed on the forum by searching, there are a lot of topics. I ask those who have information to give numbers for Europe and the United States for the original and good non-original parts for the rear suspension and a list of the most difficult work when replacing, work experience, prices, recommendations, the most frequent malfunctions and their elimination with "little blood".
The first ailment that I found in the rear suspension was the stabilizer struts (about 90 km) (knocking on irregularities) their number by hi-drive Spain al3059 (middle rubber band of two halves), by Febi 19830 (middle rubber band whole. , two self-locking nuts and 8 bushings of the rear shock absorber from VAZ classics. With such racks, you can drive a week before the arrival of normal ones. Do not overtighten when replacing new ones. change simply if you lie behind a standing car. When buying, do not confuse with the front stabilizer struts (MOOG numbers fdls0090 original 1004018 Feb 07989.
Then at 130 km there were found the severed silent blocks of the trailing arms of the rear suspension "butterfly". Manifestation - withdrawal and "steering" on all irregularities. An exist for constipation says that there are NO rear suspension bushings separately from the levers. The number of the “butterfly” silencer on febi is 22699. I haven’t changed it yet, I’m waiting for advice.
I sent a request for the fastener to the existential, received an answer, but I can not figure out which bolts are from where and where the original is strictly necessary and where is the mona and the replacement. HELP!

Buy a "bone" from America for $ 60 YS4Z-5500-DA
It is best to sort it out yourself, tools head 15 and a key and 2 goats to lift the back of the car, no one at the service will lick your suspension, if the bolts do not unscrew, they will cut it off with a grinder along with a welded nut, then your bolts will no longer be needed, so work in most services
When I changed it myself, the time is 4 hours slowly and a lot of pleasure from the work done Yes, a jack is needed by rolling, it will be to put a spring
today replaced the front stabilizer bar. for 600 rubles. Febi X2 = 1200 rubles, I changed it myself. past moogs passed 30km and died. before that, the 1700 rubles stabilizer was put in place in the service. and replaced his bushings (300 rubles. both Febi). the muzzle subsided.
the existential leader could not bring the levers of the bone. had to buy the original from amerikosa as the rear small wishbones "bones".

Since the price of the friendly service, which I always went to when I was not able to do it myself and only to it, did not suit this time. Agreed on Sun. with orbit auto service.I haven't found reviews on it on the forum yet, so tomorrow I'll go test it myself and issue a report) For information: Papillin Anton announced for work 3000-4000 how it will be unscrewed, but it does not work on the weekend, otherwise I would have gone to him, Sprint (GAE) they also requested an auto center for 6700, auto orbit service 4000-4600 will be unscrewed. tomorrow I'll go, unsubscribe. friendly service appreciated the work more than anyone else, therefore not to them.
in total it turned out on the rear suspension for w / h 4600 + 3400 + 3000 + 1200 + 370 = 12570 rubles. (I have new rear stub struts (febi), but in general, who will sort it out, it makes sense to change them too.) Works 4600+ descent collapse 1200. Total 5800 rubles. In total, the rear suspension bulkhead should actually fit into 18,500 rubles. excluding springs and shock absorbers. It seems to me that this is the minimum price.
By the way, the front bulkhead is cheaper. about 3000 each lever vbore, 500 supports, 500 stabilizer struts and works for 3000. total for about 12500 rubles. from the descent collapse.
Links to parts of the Ford Focus 2 suspension overhaul series.
Well, now I found the time to write the next part of the series of articles "Overhaul of the Focus 2 suspension".
The topic of this section will be "Replacing Rear Suspension Arms".
Exposing the camber is a mandatory procedure after replacing the spring-loaded levers.
It is advisable to do the work together.
Let me first make a small but important digression on the topic of the choice of spring arms.
VIDEO
The spring-loaded rear suspension arms on the Ford Focus 2 are of 2 types:
1) curved levers (I have just such, the stabilizer struts on them are in the shape of the letter G) (absolutely no analogues were found)
2) straight levers (the levers themselves are straight, the stabilizer struts are also straight) (there are analogues of Mayle - it is possible to buy a set of all rear levers at once - I can not say anything about the quality)
ATTENTION ! If you buy the wrong levers, neither a stabilizer nor stabilizer struts will work. (there were people who managed to screw straight levers to replace the old curves with curved stub struts, which were screwed just at crazy angles - there is no question of normal functioning).
IMPORTANT ! Breakup bolts, nuts and washers must be purchased from the same manufacturer (different threads from Ford and Mazda are exactly 100%). It is better to buy new ones so that there are no problems with the camber setting. p / s breakup bolts, etc. from Ford are 2 times more expensive and it is not a fact that it is better.
90% of cases of replacement of levers - stratification of silent blocks. Some want to save money - buy only silent tires and repress them, but this will not lead to anything good, because it will not be possible to press them into the steel levers normally, as a result they will start to fall out - you will try to grab them by welding, which can ruin the silent itself ...
1. Rear spring-loaded suspension arm Ford - 1 548 460 - 3200r * 2pcs (curved levers only the original)
2. Suspension arm rear transverse lower Ford - 1 703 145 - 1346r * 2pcs (finish from focus3, finish from ff2 1061668 is 2 times more expensive - as usual in Ford style)
3. Breakup bolt Mazda - BP4K-28-66ZB - 271r * 2 pcs.
4. Eccentric washer Mazda - BP4K-28-473A - 133r * 2pcs
5. Nut Mazda - 9YB1-01-209 - 170r * 2pcs
In addition to keys and ratchets with heads, it is advisable to buy:
1. Gas burner (about 500r) - I have both bolts of the lower levers completely stuck to the silencers - I had to melt the silencers on the old levers with a burner to pull them out, 1 spray was enough.
2. Ceramic grease - to lubricate the new bolts in order to avoid subsequent problems with acidification and sticking (it is better to lubricate for a long time and for yourself), (I think copper will also ride).
3. You must have 2 jacks (2 rolling jacks are generally cool)
4. WD-40, of course, what kind of repair without it.
I will not describe the complete process, because there is a lot of information on the Internet, consider the most important points:
1. Replacement of levers is carried out alternately on 2 sides with jacking up the machine and removing the wheel.
(it is better to jack it higher so that the 2nd jack then crawls under the lever)
2. First, unscrew the stabilizer bar bolt from the stabilizer side, then the spring levers are removed first of all from the wheel side, before pulling out the bolt, you need to jack the lever so that the spring does not fire if you still manage to pull the bolt out.After you have pulled out the bolt from the side of the wheel, you will need a 2nd person: 1 holds the lower part of the lever, the second removes the jack, 1 gently lowers the lever down until the spring is completely relaxed, after which the spring is pulled out and the breakup bolt is unscrewed, the lever is removed completely.
3. The lower wishbones most likely cannot be unscrewed - for this we need a gas burner, with which we diligently melt the silent parts that have become attached to the bolts. (Be careful with the burner - do not melt the wires and hoses, do not ignite anything).
4.! IMPORTANT! The spring has plastic spacers at the top and bottom. The upper gasket may fall off when the spring is removed, the lower gasket 100% remains in the old levers and of course these gaskets need to be rearranged into the new levers.
5. Be sure to lubricate all the bolts so that in a couple of years you will not have problems with the collapse of the rear, and indeed with loosening them if necessary.
6. Do not forget to rearrange the rubber bumpers from the old levers (new ones cost about 400r / pc, it makes no sense to buy)
I did not change the crescent upper wishbones. with their silencers, everything is fine, apparently due to much lower loads.
The replacement time took about 3 hours (everyone will have it differently, depending on how quickly they can unscrew all the bolts).
Rear suspension repair Ford Focus 2: is it all that difficult or simple? The word "repair" can plunge many motorists into a decent shock - everyone knows the prices charged by car repair shops for replacing parts. However, two factors will be good news: Ford vehicles are distinguished by the durability of their parts and indispensable quality; by design features (ease of assembly and disassembly), it is permissible to replace Ford parts by yourself.
4 levers: one longitudinal, one upper and two lower: front and rear;
shock absorber;
stretcher;
anti-roll bar;

Rear suspension for Ford Focus
The most vulnerable part of the rear suspension of a Ford Focus is the silent blocks. When is it worth picking up and sorting out the rear suspension of the Ford Focus 2?
Rear Suspension Repair Parts
First of all, it is worth noting the quality with which car manufacturers approached during the assembly of their cars: the rear suspension parts are more than others characterized by their durability and reliability. However, even the strongest, sooner or later, will need either the repair of the component parts, or a complete replacement.
Rear stabilizers often need to be changed
Most of the suspension parts, on average, can withstand a mileage of 120-130 thousand km - a great value, one cannot but agree with this. As a warning and recommendation, we note that you should "climb under the car" only in the following cases: the appearance of a specific knock in the rear suspension of your Ford Focus 2, a squeak, a hum (it is necessary to emphasize what is called), emanating from the rear suspension; the car "passed" the prescribed 20,000 km, after which the manufacturer recommends a superficial inspection of the condition of the suspension parts; the vehicle has landed in a deep hole or has been hit hard enough in some way to the suspension.
Bad road leads to suspension breakage
Check the condition of the suspension, preferably on a flyover or pit to facilitate access to all suspension elements of your Focus. In the most extreme case, a conventional jack, alternately installed under each wheel, can be an acceptable alternative. And check the front suspension.
VIDEO
Checking the rear suspension for one hundred.
After lifting the wheel some distance from the ground for free rotation, spin it by hand. The wheel should rotate evenly and soundlessly (meaning, with the absence of extraneous tasks and squeaks).
After making sure of the integrity, then you should grab the wheel from above and below, then pull on one side "towards yourself" and on the other - vice versa. With this manipulation, again, there should be no appearance of extraneous sounds or backlash. If there are any, press the brake, repeat the above operation and observe. If the problem disappears, then the problem lies in the bearings. Otherwise, we continue the journey through the suspension.

Replacing the rear hub with bearing
Next, you should check the ball joints by squeezing the space between the steering knuckle and the suspension arm with a screwdriver. In case of backlash observation, we replace the support. A cracked cover, if any, is also removed and replaced. Moving on to the anti-roll bars of the rear suspension of the Ford Focus 2. For a correct analysis, it is required to move the ball joints. We observe a backlash - we got caught: we change the shock absorber strut, in case of a negative result, we continue our "journey". Everything is subject to inspection: springs, bushings, even cushions and shock absorbers.
we tighten the spring with shock absorber ties
Also, an important point should be to check the oil level in the shock absorber, as well as its possible leaks. Such part of the repair as the camber of the rear suspension of your Ford Focus 2 is strongly recommended, nevertheless, but to be carried out in auto repair shops. It is unlikely that you have a device "at hand" that can determine the discrepancy in degrees. Self-replacement of the silent block of the rear suspension Ford Focus 2
Replacing rear traction silent blocks Ford Focus
The slightest thought about the need to devote a whole day to car repairs leads a number of motorists to a slight shock. They will prefer to go to the nearest and not very service station, where friendly and caring auto mechanics will carry out all the work on the replacement or repair of car components. However, having learned in advance the cost of such services, the desire to get down to business on their own will literally grow exponentially. In addition, all the same kind mechanics will almost certainly try to assure you on the quiet that not only some kind of silent block is subject to replacement in your car, but almost the entire rear suspension.

You should not scare and declare the impossibility of carrying out repair work related to the rear suspension, at least on the basis that such information would be a complete lie. You will need only N-th number of hours (usually, with the correct position of the hands relative to the fifth point, the whole operation takes about 3-6 hours) and the part itself that needs to be replaced. A set of silent blocks for the rear suspension of the Ford Focus 2 can be easily purchased at any car dealership. Tools for the job, of course.
And so, let's start: in any convenient way we raise the rear axle of the car, then either we remove the spring, or, in order to avoid unnecessary physical exertion, we tighten the spring with ordinary ties. A support is installed under the main lever, then proceed to unscrewing the bolt securing the spring-loaded lever. Finally, we take out the spring / springs of the rear suspension of your favorite Ford Focus 2 and move the lever down.
shock absorbers and springs for ford focus
One of the last steps will be to unscrew the two wishbones and the shock absorber. Along the way, we unhook the parking brake cable and then get rid of the bolt that secures the wires going to the ABS sensor. Now we disconnect the sensor terminal and then unscrew the bolts (the rear suspension bolts of the Ford Focus 2 are not distinguished by their plurality, which greatly facilitates the process) holding the wishbone. Finally, remove the silent block.
Replacing the salon block Ford Focus 2
Along the way, after disconnecting the wishbone, it is possible to independently replace the upper and lower arms. Having obtained the long-awaited block, you are unlikely to find the time to rejoice.
The last step is to squeeze the silencer out of the socket in which it is located and the connection is very strong, by the way. There are two options for solving the problem: 1) we are taking it to a car repair shop, paying only for pressing; 2) we make a glass-like tool having a depth of 60 mm, a height of 70 and an outer with an inner one, diameters of 58 and 35, respectively, with which we squeeze out the silent block. Immediately I want to warn about the need to press out the silent blocks from the rear suspension arms of your

The installation of a new block is carried out in a similar manner to pressing out, then assembly is carried out in full observance of the reverse sequence of operations.
