This video from Cobb R&D shows the Focus ST's engine wiggling about wildly with the sloppy stock RMM bushings - Ford decided it would be cheaper to use the same RMM as non turbo Fiesta and Focii, so thus we're saddled with this very same issue. Ford has had to issue several TSB's to bandaid fix the Focii one and I am betting we'll eventually get a similar TSB - but why bandaid such a huge problem instead of fixing it proper.
This is why replacing the bushings with either the PowerFlex ones - or installing the COMING THIS MONTH Cobb Rear Motor Mount for Fiesta ST is such a good idea.
While the video shows you what happens with a Focus, this makes it visually clear why this is such a "Must-Do" upgrade.
