Overview

The FSWERKS Upper Front Strut Stress Bar is an essential bolt-on for street and competition Ford Focus cars. Its rigid design reduces front sheet metal frame roll and twist, which quickens steering response and improves turn-in. The bar is constructed from strong 14-gauge, mandrel-bent, heavy-wall 7/8" diameter steel tubing welded to 1/8" laser-cut steel mounting plates.

Show original supplier description

This bar directly addresses the common issue of front sheet metal frame flex and twist, translating into quicker steering response and more precise turn-in capabilities. The rigid construction utilizes robust 14-gauge, mandrel-bent, heavy-wall 7/8" diameter steel tubing, meticulously welded to 1/8" laser-cut steel mounting plates for durability and strength. Engineered with the specific constraints of US model Ford Focus cars in mind, this stress bar provides a direct fit without requiring modifications to essential components like the brake booster, fuse box, or air box, particularly when paired with the FSWERKS Cool-Flo or the factory air box. The bar is available in a variety of finishes, including Chrome/Clear Powdercoated and various colored powdercoated options, allowing for aesthetic customization. Installation is straightforward, with many users reporting a 5-minute or less installation time. The recommended torque for the nuts is 18 ft-lbs. This stress bar is compatible with a wide range of Ford Focus models equipped with Duratec 2.3L and 2.0L engines, specifically: 2003-2004 (ZX3, ZX5, ZTW, ZTS), 2005-2007 (ZX3, ZX4, ZX5 & ZTW), 2005-2007 Focus ST (Sedan), and 2008-2011 (Coupe and Sedan) models. Some users have noted minor fitment adjustments may be necessary, such as slight modifications to brake fluid sensor or fuel heat shield clearance, or flipping A/C line brackets.
