Common Rust Areas for the Ford Focus
Rust is a common issue for Ford Focus models, particularly those from 2005 to 2010. Common rust-prone areas include:
- Rear Wheel Arches: The Ford Focus often suffers from rust around the rear wheel arches, especially where the paint has worn off. Rust on the 2010 Ford Focus rear wheel arches is a widespread issue.
- Exhaust Brackets: Another weak point is the exhaust brackets, which can rust and even break off over time. If you’re experiencing the brackets rusting off on your 2009 or 2010 model, it's essential to address it quickly to avoid further damage.
- Rear Axle and Sills: Rust can also develop on the rear axle and sills especially if not treated in time. Issues like rust on the rear wheel arches and rust spreading through the boot from the inside have also been reported.
