Whats the main diff in a SVT to a standerd Focus as for front suspension and layout?
Main reason I ask is can you use the aftermarket tration bar for the ZX3 on the SVT?
Also is the CV shafts, spindles the same?

Don't know nothin bout no traction bars.

The outer joints are similar in that they fit through the same size bearing but that about it, the inners are totally different.

its neat cus you can make svt axles in your garge!!!!!!! :lol: the traction bar or pre load bar from lake wood goes on the rear susp. it pushe up on the rear to force the nose down....a waste unless its a dedicated track queen as it will be next to impossible to drive on the street. you better off getting a good lsd ( eaton, cusco,quafie...stay away from the obx one on line). i like the gear style over the disc type, you have less chatter with the gear style.
