Hi,

I've been asked to help someone replace the steering rack on their 2000my Ford Focus.

I've checked the Ford technical blurb, and the task looks quite straight forward - a bit fiddly perhaps, but nothing "clever" about the process.

The only problem is the realignment of the front subframe, which requires special tools. I've done a quick search on the 'net, but I've been unable to source the tools.

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy the alignment tools? I've tried the Ford dealer, but they won't sell special tools to the public.... grrr!

Cheers,

John.

The ones specced for the Mondeos is the same tool you can buy them from draper although tbh i normaly do it by eye it's really not that hard.
