Despite ‘only‘ being front-wheel drive and packing 215bhp, the Focus RS was as sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel when launched. But more than two decades on, ageing and softened rubber suspension components can mean some of that original precision has been lost.
This week sees us revisit a product for the Mk1 Ford Focus RS, including non-RS and ST170 models, to reinstate poise, precision and performance, while reducing its lane-swapping torque-steer tendencies.
PFF19-803G Front Wishbone Rear Bush – Caster Offset combines a CNC-machined aluminium mount with a polyurethane bush and stainless steel sleeve for freer rotation, providing approximately 0.6° of positive caster offset to improve in-corner camber gain without compromising straight-line traction, as proven and tested on road and track.
The Purple 80A Road Series version is 55% stiffer than the OE rubber bush, helping to control unwanted suspension movement and braking instability while retaining road-focused compliance.
BLACK SERIES
For those looking for a track/competition option, PFF19-803GBLK takes things a step further.
Made with our stiffest Black 95A durometer polyurethane, it delivers a 270% increase in stiffness over the OE rubber bush for the ultimate in steering precision and chassis control.
