In this video i show how to replace a rear trailing arm on a ford focus. i also replace the rear lateral link , the rear lower control arm , and rear upper control arm of a ford focus. In this video i show how to take out the bolts that rust and freeze up in the bushing sleeves. You can cut the bolts out or hammer them out using a torch, but you would need to replace the rest of the components when doing so.

That is more work than I expected. I did my own front arms and those were easier to replace. Kudos.

The manual says the torque for the rear hub nut is 173 foot pounds. It should still spin without much effort (brake drag consider). But if the hub tightens up, the bearing could be bad. If the nut is not tight enough the bearing can burn out.

I have a Focus TDDI SW from 2002. It just made 200.000 km. This will be my next job. Since I listen to all kind of noises when it gets more bumpier. Do you think I'll have to change all bushings.

@@klowny1969 When this MK1 focus came out , the new suspension was a ' revolution ' in 1998 . Here in the UK the MK1 Focus became a bit of an ' Icon ' car .. here a quote from a review of the suspension ( rear ? ) I think at the time , ahead of its time IMO. ; Key to that was the car’s Control Blade multi-link rear suspension that married the packaging of a simple trailing-arm set-up with the sophistication and geometry of a double-wishbone unit, masterminded by Ford engineer Richard Parry-Jones. It gave the Focus incredible agility, composure and ride comfort for something so affordable. thanks Graham near London UK

@@klowny1969 The Drum retaining nut that should be torqued to 173 foot pounds. The retainer that was snugged and backed off as would a normal bearing. This is not a normal bearing and has no cotter pin to keep the whole assembly Drum/Wheel from ejecting from the car. Don't get me wrong this was a really poor choice on Fords part. The fastener should also not be reused per Ford. I would update the notes to show the correct torque for the Drum Retaining Nut.

Probably one of the worst rear suspensions I’ve had to work on so far. Definitely not fun, and the bolts do tend to rust practically frozen into the bushing sleeves like he said. Not a job for the faint of heart DIYer.
