Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we going to show you how to replace the torque strut mount on this 2005 Ford Focus and the tools you'll need are a jack and jack stands and a 13mm socket and ratchet and a 13mm wrench.
Your torque strut mount is located right here. You can see it's held in with two 13mm bolts: one here and one right here. You want to start off by just removing those. We'll just fast forward as Don removes both of them. Push the torque strut mount back and then next you want remove these two 13mm bolts on this bracket. You want to use a wrench and another wrench so you can have some added leverage here and just break those bolts free. Then you can just remove them the rest of the way and you'll see he starts off using a wrench but then he switches to using a socket and ratchet. Now repeat this same process for the upper bolt. For this one, it may be easier to use the socket and ratchet from up above. Then once you twist out that last bolt, you can just pull that bracket and the torque strut mount down.
Take your new torque strut mount and put it up into place and push your bracket in place. It's easier to do the top bolt first. Just replace that bolt and tighten it up. We'll just fast forward as he replaces the other bolt and tightens both of those up. Once the bracket is tightened into place, replace your two bolts on your torque strut mount and tighten those up.
