Ford Focus MK1 front wishbone replacement, Rear bearing replacement, ABS sensor fault

Hi

I haven't been here for a while - busy busy busy.
However I have some pictures and instruction to be published on wojtek-n.

Today front wishbone on MK1 and rear bearing.

 I decided to remove the wheel hub to have a better access to the wishbone. Car was old and rusty so it was good idea;

 32mm

ABS or so called speed sensor

Traction rod

As you can see speed sensor holding ring snapped. It is quite cheap more less £7

The plug is hidden under the mudguard

 Condition of pins is so bad that i had to buy the ones. I would suggest to buy new pins/bolts always when you change parts of your suspension. Many times these comes with the part

As you can see below the bearing, which has a magnetic ring on it, is covered with bits and dust of rust. This has to be cleaned in order to have speed sensor giving the accurate signal. Compressed air does the job

Wishbone is mounted on 3 bolts/nuts - 2 on the back of it and 1 on the front. Of course there is also ball joint with the knuckle

Plenty of WD40 needed

Torques:  The visible nut on the below is 100Nm + 60 degrees, the other one closer to the wheel is 120Nm +90 degrees

This one below 120Nm+90degrees

 Below 90Nm

ABS 9 Nm

 Axle nut 290Nm

Guide pins 28Nm

Below 50Nm

Traction rod end 47Nm

Rear bearing:

First of all secure the car with wheel chocks, engage the "R" gear and release the handbrake

Remove the cap

Remove the brake drum

Speed sensor

Magnetic part of the bearing

Now, before even starting this job make sure you have bought the magnetic bearing, as many sellers offer much cheaper bearing however without the magnetic strip. Keep the new magnetic bearing away from any metal tools, materials etc.

Depends on budget you may consider to but the drum with integrated bearing. Otherwise you will need a strong press to press the bearing out. 6t press won't do the job;

Tightening torque is 235Nm

 Thanks
