So my focus threw an axle

derf · 10-23-2009, 12:23 AM

This happened yesterday. I think the engine mount broke first, but either way the engine mount and the passenger side axle pulled out of its housing. So I towed it to my friends shop yesterday, and today after work I went out to teh spare focus and started to pull the needed parts off the spare focus, passenger engine mount, bolts and studs, passenger side cv joints and half shaft. It took a good 4 hours because everything was rusted solid, and my impact gun is in albany right now. So tommorrow after work I go to replace the broken parts on the good focus.

Did it just pull right out? Hope you didn't strip the gears on the half shaft in the process.

Wait... That is FWD right?

Sounds like an easy and cheap fix as long as there is no damage to the axle as already mentioned above.
