Q: It seems that the passenger side of my rear suspension on my 2007 Ford Focus has had its spring drop. Quote? Self repair possible?
It seems that the passenger side of my rear suspension on my 2007 Ford Focus has had its spring drop, and the part where the tire goes (sorry for my lack of name knowledge) is close to the ground. What part is damaged that could have caused this? Is Self repair possible? If not, what quote would I be looking at to fix it? Pictures can be provided. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
