Ford Mondeo IV 2007 - Rear trailing arm bush removal tool #

Posted by David Evason on August 6, 2013, 10:29 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2007

Im looking for a rear trailing arm bush removal/installing tool like the ones available for the Ford Focus Mk 1 & 2 that allows you to install the bushes on the vehicle but for a newer shape Mondeo MK4 07> also Smax and Galaxy.
Has anyone found one ? Ive managed to locate one type but it still involves you removing the whole rear trailing arm.
Thanks

Hi, sykes have it in their latest offer but way too expensive to warrant buying at the moment

Hi John & thanks.
Yeah that's the one I've found so far but it looks like that is to press fit one and not do in situ..
I have found it slightly cheaper somewhere for Â£350 I think was the price .
I do a lot of taxis mondeos,smax, galaxy's so it might be worth me buying one but I was hoping to get the in situ one.

Thanks
Dave

I bought the snapon (itc cups) universal suspension bush kit and to say its poor isn't really a good description. Lucky I got it via ebay cheaper than from the van.

My 1st use we snapped the stud without to much pressure being applied to the nut/bush which cost £50 to replace and when we came ton use the largest threaded rod one of the nuts had a poorly made or cut thread from new.

Snapon can't sell me this nut as you need to buy the whole threaded rod with 2 new nuts which aren't conventional m16.

I also lost a cup (well one of us did) and believe this or not but its exactly what we were told you can't buy any single replacement cups even though you have a list in the box with part numbers for each item.

Our dealer did manage to source one with a slight bending of the truth.

Anyway my point is don't bother buying this itc cups kit as you'd be disappoited with it.

I tend to use my us pro tools ball joint installer with the itc cups if space allows as the threaded rods are made of some really poor/cheap material and just aren't upto the job designed for.

Sockets and various other plates or sleaves is how we other wise struggle like most i suppose unless the tools are reasonably priced.

Having said that the vw polo suspension bush tool is superb made by ast.
