Used Ford Focus Rear Cross Member

The Mk2 Ford Focus ran from 2004 to 2011 and shares the same platform throughout that generation, so a rear cross member from any Mk2 should be a strong candidate for your car. However, body style matters here — hatchback, saloon, and estate cross members are not interchangeable, so make sure the donor car matches yours. Confirm the exact fit with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The Mk3 Ford Focus launched in 2011 on a completely different platform to the Mk2 (2004–2011), so these two generations do not share the same rear cross member. You should only be sourcing parts from within the same generation as your own car. Stick to Mk2 donors for a Mk2 Focus and Mk3 donors for a Mk3, and confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration.

The Mk3 Ford Focus ran from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift arriving in 2014 that primarily affected the front end, lighting, and interior. Whether the facelift introduced any pressing changes to the rear cross member is not something we can state with certainty, so if your car sits near that 2014 boundary you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration. Body style remains the critical fitment factor regardless of facelift year.

Trim level — whether that's LX, Zetec, Titanium, ST, or any other — does not affect which rear cross member fits your Focus. The cross member is a structural part tied to the platform and body style, not the specification of the car. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as bracket provisions or fixings depending on what was fitted to the donor car, so mention your trim to the breaker so they can flag anything worth checking.

No — hatchback, saloon, and estate body styles each have a distinct rear structure, and their rear cross members are not interchangeable. Always match the body style of the donor car to your own when sourcing this part. Tell the breaker your exact body style and confirm against your registration to be sure.

The Mk4 Ford Focus arrived in 2018 on a new platform, making it a different generation to the Mk3 (2011–2018), and the rear cross members are not interchangeable between them. Source your part from a Mk3 donor of the same body style for the best chance of a correct fit. Confirm everything with the breaker against your registration before committing to a purchase.
