What axles and where are you high hp focuses getting replacement axles. I need the passenger side axle assembly mine has a bit of play in it at the mid cv joint. Rattles when I hit small multiple bumps. I went to the dealer and they want almost $400 for just that side. Which to me is nuts seeing as you can buy after market axles for $500 for both.

I think you are talking about the carrier bearing. Its the axle or Bearing connected to the axle and Engine brace on the Pax side. I would try rock auto. The bearing is $30, the axle is $50

Sounds like carrier bearing. Easy fix. Stock motor craft ones are good. But you want custom contact fernando.
Cardone is the brand you want on rockauto
They have "Cardone Select" and "A-1 Cardone". Cardone Select is suppose to be brand new to oem spec........yadayawho.knows
You want A-1 Cardone. That is a rebuilt/remanufactured Ford motorcraft axle.
I also believe the one you buy from ford will be a reman as well.
I would not hesitate getting the A-1 Cardone, pretty easy install and 10% of the price. It might be the only american company on Rock auto.
I'm also having a sound in my axle after I back out of my drive way and then go forward. Its always two clunks and then never does it again until next time im in my driveway. I just don't know which side it is tho, im hoping this isn't anything in my new transmission/Torsen, since i installed it myself. (1st time doing it)

Any axle will probably work just fine. Most are just rebuilt stock ones anyways. But that being said I've bought axles from the "parts stores" with holes in the damn boots. So before you install whatever brand you get make sure you check the boots for holes lol

Ok thanks thats what i was looking for. i wanted remaned stock axles. so cardone it is. thanks.
and yeah ive been on here a good bit. I bought my focus as a stock zx3 base model focus and now its basically a daily driven fully built svt eap with zetec drivetrain with power everything and putting down almost 500whp and wtq.. lol
Ive posted numerous how tos and lots of things on here as well as gotten many points of help here as well.. this is a great sight. I quit using focaljet due to so many rude people on it.

You might try Detroit Axle on ebay
I plan on grabbing some of their reman axles for track time spares. Seems like a heck of a deal to me.
I don't know if the axles themselves are oem or aftermarket. I figure the other parts are made in China. That being said, I run aftermarket/China bearings/hub on the rear with my SVT brake swap with no issues whatsoever.

NICE!!! I looked hard at the 5.0 mustangs before I bought my ls swapped fd. I even put my focus up for sale but people were offering stupid amounts for it. So I just decided to keep it and use it as I choose to. Ive started putting a bit more money into the focus trying to get better traction. Thought that i had several years ago. Now that i can fit a decent size tire under my car I just need a quality tire.
Eventually i plan on boosting my fd. But for now ive just been fixing problems with it and making it look better. Its pretty quick in stock form. 0-100mph in just shy of 6 seconds. but after 100 its nothing to be impressed about when comparing it to my focus.. haha
Right now the fd is getting rewired to get rid of factory relays and wires that are not being used so itll be like the ls motor came in the car. I spent the past year figuring out a suspension issue. sucks that it took me replacing everything in the suspension to fix it. (it was bad springs all along) grrr.. lol.
But I know when im done itll be amazing..
I was very impressed with the mustang when i drove it. it deff feels way lighter in handling than it looks. I would love to get a ride in it some time.

Sounds like a badass FD, my buddy has a LS swapped BMW and it rides out. Heads cams, 150 kit, pretty much a sleeper. If Im ever in SC ill give you a shout so you can get a ride.
