Is it ok if I wait to get my sway bar links and bushings replaced on my Ford Focus?

I brought my car to get a repair estimate. Mechanic said it’s not a safety issue, but that my sway bar links and bushings need to be replace. I noticed a creaking noise when I turn, and get in and out of my car. That’s why I brought it to mechanic. It was almost $400 to fix so I said “I’ll wait”. I figured he was decent enough to tell me that it wasn’t a mandatory repair. This place has a good reputation in my town, so I think I can trust his word.

Ford Focus 1.6 Petrol Water Pump Problem ***HELP***?

Hoping that someone may read this.

Broke down yesterday after re-filling coolant when car re-heated and mechanic who rescued us advised that the water pump is leaking and requires replacement.

Our local garage have advised that to change the water pump also requires a new camber (?) kit and including both and 3.5 hours labour their total quote is £315.08.

This sounds crazy for changing a water pump – can anyone shed any light and reckon that they may be taking the mickey?

Am not technical so wouldn’t attempt to do work myself, however if we go back to garage, or to others, I’d like to know exactly what work needs doing.

Thanks!
Sorry not a “camber kit”, I meant a new “cambelt” kit

cambers on a 05 ford focus?

So my camber kits on my 05 ford focus are a little kicked out. I was wondering how to bring them back in, if someone could please help me fix this I would appreciate this very much thanks.

Ksport Version RR Coilovers Ford Focus 00+

More Info: Ksport Version RR Coilovers Ford Focus 00+

Product Description
Ksport Version RR Coilovers Ford Focus 00+

Ksport Version RR Damper System is built specifically for road racing only. Aggressive rates and valving are chosen for maximum handling and performance with acute reaction and responsiveness. Integrated with 36 levels of dampening adjustment, simultaneous compression and rebound adjustment, lightweight aluminum mounts, and pillow ball upper mounts on some applications. (Race use only.)

36 levels of dampening adjustment allow you to fine tune the ride to your handling and comfort needs. The dampening adjusts compression and rebound simultaneously for ease of adjustment. Pillow ball top mounts in the front and rear on some applications allow you to maintain vehicle manufacturer suspension geometry design. The pillow ball top mounts also allow you a more direct feel for solid driver response. Camber adjustability is included on pillow ball top mounts that allow it for the ability to adjust camber from the actual coilover, instead of a separate camber kit.

Most applications utilize an adjustable lower mount, which means you adjust height without losing suspension travel like some other coilover designs do. With the mounts and most pieces of the coilover being designed for 6061 billet aluminum the kit is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. The steel shock body is electroplated with zinc to resist rust and the elements. The valving of each set is matched to the springs installed for unmatched ride quality and reliability.

The Ksport system uses a Monotube design in which the oil and gas are separated within the cylinder. When compared to twin tube designs the Monotube dissipates heat better, allows finer dampening adjustments, and requires more expensive design process. Aeration and cavatation are a lot less common in a Monotube design, which results in a better ride.

Key Features:
-Agressive valving and spring rates
-Reinforced internals
-Race applications only
