Strut Caps
#1
hey does anyone know what year the focus came with plastic caps that filled the circle on the top of the front struts, so the top of the strut and the bolt are not exposed.=. I've seen someone with them before but it didn't say what year his car was and i want to order some from ford.

They were made by Focus Central, and made of billet aluminum

Also not compatable with strut tower bars with out modification

I'm pretty sure those were called Dust Caps, and the only place i remember ever seeing them was eBay years ago

But i'm sure you could drop into a Ford dealership and inquire, see what they come up with
