Second Hand Ford Focus Front Cross Member

The Ford Focus Mk3 ran from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift in 2014 that updated the styling but kept the same basic platform. Cross members from within the pre-facelift (2011–2014) or post-facelift (2014–2018) ranges will generally interchange with other cars in the same sub-generation, but whether a pre-facelift unit crosses over cleanly to a post-facelift car is not guaranteed — confirm this with the breaker against your specific registration before buying.

The Focus Mk2 ran from 2004 to 2011, and the Mk3 from 2011 to 2018 — these are distinct generations with different front subframe and suspension geometry, so the cross members are not interchangeable. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can pull the correct generation part.

For standard Zetec and Titanium models on the same generation, trim level does not affect front cross member fitment, as the underlying front subframe is shared across those variants. The Focus ST uses a higher-output engine and may have different front-end bracing or mounting points, so if your car or the donor car is an ST, confirm compatibility with the breaker against both registrations before proceeding.

On the Focus, larger or heavier engines can influence the specification of the front subframe and cross member, so a unit from a 1.0-litre EcoBoost donor is not guaranteed to match one from a 2.0-litre or ST engine bay. Always tell the breaker your engine size alongside the generation so they can match the correct part.

A 2013 car is pre-facelift Mk3 and a 2015 car is post-facelift Mk3 (facelift from 2014), so they sit either side of a known production boundary. The core platform is shared, but whether the cross member itself is dimensionally identical across that 2014 facelift cut-off is something you should confirm with the breaker, quoting both registrations, rather than assume.

The engine type (petrol or diesel) can affect the mass and mounting of the front powertrain, which sometimes means the cross member or its mounting brackets differ between fuel types on the same generation. Let the breaker know both your fuel type and engine size alongside the year so they can verify the donor part is a proper match for your car.
