Fiesta st gets track mods. Hardrace EXTENDED ball joints and superpro poly bushes

[@meddylad]

I bought both left and right Superpro lower control arms with the superpro bushes and uprated balljoint for £240 all in.... a little pricey but saves all the hassle of pressing out old and inserting new. Just need to test it now 😂

[@WilliamsBenBear]

Take it easy steve stay safe in current climate. Considering buying a fiesta st after watching your videos

[@sparkplug964]

I hate doing bush work, some people like you Steve make it look easy, myself just make a bigs ear of it, and swear allot. it's one job I do not mind passing on.

[@andyterry5397]

Only recently started watching your videos steve just like to say you are a star keep doing what you do I reckon you are brill.you explain really well camera gets right in there so we see the lot and well nothing else to say stay safe and good luck for all future ventures...Andy

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Thank you Andy

[@chrisblay]

That reminded me of heating up a bearing carrier on the cooker ring, when replacing a set of bearings with my Dad many years ago. Use of heat/cold when you don’t have a press is very effective.

[@LighttownMadness1913]

Hi Steve, the bolt that broke (from control arm to knuckle) is a one time only bolt I believe. Ford's manuals say that you have to replace that one each time. I thought that was unneccesary at first but I'm happy I did replace them when I took out the driveshafts, now that I see this video... Good job on the bushings by the way

[@dixiedean2911]

Another epic insight into your cracking track day car keep them coming really need the daily fix. Stay safe....👍😊

[@ianofsjkartwork]

Top job Steve.....stay safe...thanks for sharing

[@fordyford]

Interesting vid again. The colour of those bushes are pretty good for a blue car too. Chicken Pies. The food of the gods.

[@skodakatie7341]

Well done Steve, that looked like a very involved procedure!!.

[@cyrilmckinstry7863]

Hey Steve good video keep them coming. Stay safe

[@rcokeman9495]

That vice was a hell of a find 👍

Where he find it?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Go watch the Renault trafic 1st video. 😉

[@philipnewton7524]

You made the job look easy my friend well done I do not like using the T wrench since my old mate shaped a couple of head nuts on is yamaha 250cc motor bike again that never clicked Phil from stoke

[@philiphutchinson4210]

New to your channel Steve, love your attitude and cars.Thank you

[@rossmale8715]

That freezer looks Corona ready mate 😂 could live outa that for 3 weeks lol

[@markmawson1]

Steve regarding your torque wrench when you get a new one i don't know if you do but after each time you use it just before you put it away fully unscrew the handle to take the tension off the spring as i have found out a few years back of an old mechanic that's usually what causes it to malfunction now and again and stops the spring going soft and giving false torque readings.

[@skybluesam5676]

Mark Mawson that's sound advice there ..... good shout!

[@James-ns6jm]

Always worth calibrating your torque wrench too. All you need is a Vice which i know you have :) some luggage scales and measuring tape and some tape and a pen. There's quite a few videos on youtube which probably explain how to do it better than me. Just search calibrating your torque wrench. But it's really easy and worth doing every so often to make sure it's not gone out of spec.

[@simonmayo1502]

Hi Steve just a quick question have you ever came across parts from different manufacturers be in slightly different length like wishbones

[@marc9283]

Hi Steve, did you ever have any problems with the caster bushes? I cant decide between Powerflex and SuperPro

[@steveh9229]

Good job Steve. What make is the broken torque wrench buddy.

[@jokebre]

Noticed much difference with the poly bushes fitted?

[@cm20081992]

So I didn't quite understand what you said about a bump steer video, are you gonna make one? I'm really curious to see the results!! I am lowered and stage 3. Under full load in a slight bend, if i hit a bump the steering goes to the inside (of the corner) like crazy, like the car is all over the place so i'm trying to correct that... so these extended ball joints should help with that? Thanks Steve!

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes a full bumpsteer video is uploading now

[@gerryhayes6385]

Good work Steve 🔧🔧👍

[@tjctpuppets2108]

Stay safe Steve ✨

[@r53leon6]

fantastic yet again steve 👌🏻

[@mansdaz]

Thanks steve enjoyed the video mate.

[@skybluesam5676]

chicken pies and hardened poly bushes ...... the perfect combination IMO

[@michaelmatthews8171]

You made it look so easy. Did you re fit the engine mount that you modded???

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes I did. Not tested it yet though.

[@UltimateGamerLive]

Steve next time when I get a Ford St I'll bring it to you haha!

[@grahamrowland6681]

Great video good explanation

[@Chris7uk00]

Lower ball joint bolt should only be 48nm Steve, My torque wrench does that too, I need a new one, going to treat myself and get one.

[@pedrocacao5081]

What make you go to Superpro, instead of other poly bushes brands? I am considering a roll center adjuster, since my car is much lower than stock! Stay safe!

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Thanks. Watch previous video as I explain my reason there. 😉

[@adamcrook9837]

11:18. This lockdown sending everyone mad 🤣

[@anthonytessier1324]

Super vidéo 👍

[@nathanlewisuk]

Great video 👍

[@hertsdude]

What caster angle did you manage with the superpro increased caster bushes? Have their arms but struggling to get any more than 3.25 degrees

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Take a look at a video I posted on my Instagram. It will explain the reason for your issue

[@hertsdude]

@@Sparkplugsteve thanks but not on Instagram 😲

[@hertsdude]

@@Sparkplugsteve found the video 👍🏻 not impressed with superpro I have the exact issue you have with the lockdown vudu kit too might go for the DNA racing adjustable arms

[@Sparkplugsteve]

It's not good as their supposed to be caster increasing wishbones

[@hertsdude]

@@Sparkplugsteve yes indeed I have sent a email complaint direct to superpro complete waste of time and money 😔

[@alexowen9245]

Them pies are the one 🤣👌

[@shanebrookes1878]

Where’s axle stands place buddy is it solid I’ve got fiesta!! Same one

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Front subframe and rear axle

[@shanebrookes1878]

Spark Plug Steve where you put axle stands is that part solid! Just don’t want axle stands to go through floor lol cheers again

[@19marshall80]

Hi Steve, Does this affect tracking in anyway? great vid :)

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes it will need setting up.

[@daibennett9224]

Easy as chicken pie

[@stanelder9995]

Interesting that Rival offers all these suspension parts for the FiST , but almost nothing for the FoST..........hmmm

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Send them a message. Say I sent you and they will find you any part you need.

[@stanelder9995]

@@Sparkplugsteve - TY! In the meanwhile I just figured out that Powerflex here in the US offers all the upgraded bushing options for the Focus ST!
