Default Re: SVTF Front Sway-bar Install (SVT Specific)

Well. I'll stand corrected. You're correct in the fact there are only 6 bolts that actually hold the subframe. the other four I dealt with where holding the LCA's to the subframe. Personally, I thought this was actually an easier way. I was able to get to everything much easier at least for me.

Too each his own however. I really couldn't find much in the way for the differences of the SVT or a regular Focus. I did with the help of a post find a less detailed write up from FF that showed a regular Zetec. Now maybe it was the less detail in that write-up, but it did seem a bit different from the SVT.

As for the alignment of the subframe, I never removed the dogbone motor mount. That left a connection point to the subframe. It acted like a hinge for the subframe and I could raise/lower the subframe with a jack.

*sighs.....* I wish I had a lift.
