I am the owner of this car and have driven over one hundred miles since picking it up, its like driving a different car! Great job Davey.

Superb work as usual, like the way you explain everything in easy to understand details. So many people on KZfaq skip past everything with time lapse videos. Keep up with these quality videos.

Forgotten how rusty cars get in Northern Ireland not a major issue in Australia. Great job on the subframe and replacement of parts. I tend to use barrier cream on my hands, something that was really pushed in aircraft maintenance. Makes it easier to clean your hands and keeps the wife happy.

Dave I luv ur style. No nonsense, no BS and knowledgeable. That's what is needed so keep up with the down to earth remarks as they.make me laugh. Good stuff.

Very informative hands on instruction video...Those lower arm inner and outer suspension bolts are a real pain. I spent 2 days try to remove the inner camber one...I have an induction heater and air hammer. In the end I used a blow lamp (carefully) with the air hammer with lots of GT85 to push it through the bush. Resist use a mallet to hammer the threaded end of the bolt (even if you hammer the refitted nut) you will bend the sub frame...and worse peen the end over so it will not slide through the bush....ps When I replaced the bolts, I used JCB hydraulic ram blue grease to aid future removal/adjustment...

Nice job Dave , many would run away from that one , those camber bolts are a proper pain in the bum , have seen guys cut through them , love the camera video clip after showing everything moving correctly, sat here on the balcony in sunny gran canaria just eaten a ham buttie with Kerrygold butter , top job , Poppy loving the fun fair rides 👍👍🍦🍦🍨

Lovely job that Dave, tidied her up well

Great job Dave, Like the F1 references.

Nice paint job on the sub frame. I enjoyed the video of you doing the geometry (tracking). How about a video on doing a full 4 wheel geometry/ camber adjustment? Keep up the good work

Awesome thanks for your time and the great work 👌👍🤑🤑

Will a impact be needed or can a good rachet help push it out and in ok. Mine are ruff and have the two bushs waiting to go in. This video is really good guidance thanks

Love your easy going can do manner!

Nice job Dave!

Really good video Dave. A lot of work involved, but well worth the finished article, it should last for years. What’s a ballpark figure for the cost of this kind of repair? The replacement components must be around £300? The hours dismantling and preparation for painting of the subframe must’ve been considerable. Top job though 👍🏻

This was a great watch Dave. I'm sure the car feels 100 times better.

Another great video Dave nice tidy job on the rear end of the Focus. I totally hate rust and always do my own car underneath to keep it looking better and hopefully lasting a lot longer. What's your thoughts on using waste oil underneath for rust prevention?..

Well done Dave excellent video the sub frame turned out great 👍👏

Interesting watch. Just in the process of rebuilding and painting my rear subframe on my mk2 estate. Had mine shot blasted though just because.

It seems pretty straight forward really apart from those bolts being a pain in the arse. Do you think this could be done without a ramp?

Great work Dave as always. Very satisfying job that one. This is how you keep cars motoring on for a lifetime 👍

Hi Dave seen on ur KZfaq channel u done a audi a4 full arm kit we're did you get the kit from

That is fair thorough Dave, a brilliant job & well done for getting that camber bolt out it fought you good 💪💪

Wish I could do this to my winter beater Mk1 - the rear end looks rusty like the Titanic..

Can I ask how much you charge for replacing R/Subframe?

Great job mate 😎 I'm doing my Focus CC subframe

I need to paint the underside of my yaris so can you tell me what rust converter and paint you used. Also what did you use to film the rear suspension while you was driving as I'm trying to find out which engine mounting is moving on my car.

Could you tell me how much this would cost just the labour, not parts just taking off and putting on

The F1 Driver bouncing around made me chuckle... Almost choked on me food! ...was completely unexpected!

Great video informative

Nice job 👍

How much it cost for all of that..I wanted mine to look like that

Top job, Dave. Another happy returning customer there; have watched a few of your excellent videos on that Focus (injectors and bushes IIRC). You've inspired me to do a little work to prolong the life of mine. I'll simply hit mine with a wire brush, some rust converter (Vactan) and a liberal coating of Bilt Hamber Dynax UB whilst up on ramps. If I get just another year out of it, that'll be grand. How does your Surf look underneath? Would love to see that up on the new lift and some more content with that

Hi Dave, I'm interested in getting this done to mine and swapping to disc brakes at the same time. I'm based in Belfast. I realise your channel states your not open to the public but I was hoping you might make an exception. Drum to disc conversion would make good content as I could not find any other video on KZfaq specific to Ford Focus. I've the necessary parts needed already

Just done the trailing arm bushes on my Focus following your other video (that was a huge pain on axel stands on side of road!). It was a great help thanks. Curious, how come you chose to fight with the camber bolts rather then chop them out seeing as you have new ones? My Chugger-Chugger gun is nowhere near as powerful as yours so i suspect i won't be getting mine out and chopping them is my only option. Other question/thought was could this all be done by dropping the subframe as a whole (first removing springs) then disassemble it. I suspect due to limited access i may have an easier time trying that.

I would like this same job done to my 04 Focus. Tried 3 garages so far and they won't touch it

Great job and superb video 👌🏻done the same job on my focus last year i wax oil every couple month so I never have to do it again haha 😂

Is there a special shaped tool to adjust the upper alignment bolts, on the rear axle?

I see Poppy was on a test drive too! 🙂

Nice job Dave. Like pig in **** with your air gun. Thought the Focus was going to turn to dust!

Great video thanks. Could you cut the camber boots out with cutting wheel rather than wrestle with them?

Nice work Dave. Don’t know if yer familiar with POR 15. Great product like a porcelain finish. Not sure if it’s marketed in the UK / Europe. Cheers 👍

👍👍👍

Hi dave im in desperate need of some help iv an 06 st focus which is in need of some refurb work on both front and rear sub frame and bushings. Really hope you could help and maybe pm me love the videos of the mk2 videos gives me hope for my own.

If you have what they call a weighted socket it will pop it off in less than 2 seconds... any bolt.

It will cost more for labour @ parts car not worth that much is it worth it

The manufacturers could add a bit of chromium to the steel and this endless rust stories we see would be gone. But then we wouldn't be buying new cars then. They wouldn't want that.

Dave, you were certainly persistent in taking out those frozen bolts in one piece. Since you were replacing the arms and bolts anyway, why didn't you use a Sawzall and a metal cutting blade? It appears you had room, and a good blade would cut those bolts in seconds. Anyway, entertaining as always.

do theh do these kits gor the mk3 ?
