    A fascinating look at the clever, relatively inexpensive, yet effective suspension design of the Focus ST. When I was a teenager many years ago, I was interested in suspension and chassis design, and even doodled independent suspensions in class. Hey, I still managed to get good grades!

    Thank you for this write-up!

    One area where Ford did let us down is in lower motor torque mount. The ST uses the same one as the base Focus, and it is simply not up to the task. Ford unwittingly comes to the rescue though, with the torque mount from the electric Focus!
