Hello everyone. I'm new here but I've had my Focus for a little over 9 years now. It's a 2007 ZX3 with a 5 speed manual and 185k miles. I'm having an issue when braking where it feels like the ABS is kicking in and the pedal pushes back against my foot. This doesn't happen all the time but it...

I've got a 2014 Focus Se and i'm looking to convert the rear drums to discs. Does anyone have advice on where to get kits, or any advice in general? Thanks

Hey y'all, I own a [manual] 2012 Focus SE with rear drums and I've bought a rear brake swap kit from Powerstop on Rock Auto and I've been waiting for better weather to do the swap myself. But there are a few things I'm concerned about, namely: 1. How am I supposed to rig up the parking brake...

Hoping someone here can help me out. Symptom 1: My brakes get stiff when I push them more than once quickly, which led me to replace all the vacuum hoses, associated o-rings and gaskets. Even made my own smoke machine, found a small leak at the IMRC but considering my short and long term fuel...

Do the front axles for the focus have ABS tone rings built into the axel or is it a separate ring? I see on rockauto they only sell rings for the rear, and the front CV axel I purchased and installed, along with the others on the site are listed as "abs ring not included"?

Have a 2010 ford focus SEL, when I press the brakes the front ABS engages and I can hear it and feel it in the pedal. This happens at any speed, no ABS lights shows up on the dash while its happening. When I pull the ABS fuse the car brakes normally. I already replaced both front abs sensors and...

Bought a ford focus off of my neighbors son, he hydroplaned it into a curb and did some damage to the front right suspension. I replaced everything on the front right side except for the strut & caliper. (lower control arm, cv axel, tie rods, hub and spindle). When braking I can feel a pulse in...

I have a 2003 Ford Focus ZTS with the 2.0L Zetec recently I just went out to grab food in the rain and when I pulled up my brake pedal hit the floor when I left it continued I still have brakes but it’s weaker i checked and I have fluid in my reservoir do you think it’s a bad brake master...

Hi, I'm usually pretty good at diagnosing cars but this has me stumped Its a 2000 ford focus se My girlfriend slammed on the brakes to miss a truck coming around the corner. Ever since then the brake lights are stuck on and it wont rev above 2k rpm without dying. Ive only checked in idle we...

I have a 2016 N/A ford focus SE that I have been slowly changing up throughout the ownership I'm starting to get into some serious parts gathering here and wondered if I could swap to a 2 piston caliper in the front https://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperProd?itemno=120-9703 say these, for...

I can't seem to find anyone with an answer. Master Cylinder failed on my 2006 Ford Focus. I bought a new one from my local Napa and typically I always bench bleed my master cylinders. I keep reading everywhere how important it is to get all of the air out on these focus'. It does not have ABS...

delete post please

So I was bored and decide to paint my calipers and drums. I would suggest against white because of brake dust and it's little ricy on tiny stock brakes in my opinion. Go for black or gray. That's what I would do if I were to do it over again. Disclaimer: There is a small but nonzero chance...

I haven't yet check it out but i want to get an idea on what to look for when i do. ok i will try to describe as best as posible. when i first begin to drive, brakes feel firm and car brakes fine. but when i go on to a drive way or a lot of bumps or even when i make sharp turns, brake pedal gets...
