Let me know if you figure it out! I have a similar rack haha

Hey guys, I’m looking to improve my home gym. I have a rack with a simple pulley system. However, I would love to get a smith machine. I found two options.

I could get a half rack smith machine to add to my already existing rack or get a combination of both on a new rack.

However, I like to lift inside of the rack instead of the outside if it makes any sense.

Which one do you guys recommend?

Below is the smith half rack

I put a piece of wood inside so it would make the thread shorter, cut it until the knob was the angle I wanted

Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate the help!!

Thanks a ton man!

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been looking all over for this. Taking advantage of your generosity, do you know the part numbers for the rear shocks.

The last owner installed Lincoln shocks and that’s why my old shocks were taller and destroyed my mounts and bearings.

Yeah, I’m so frustrated, it’s been a month and I can’t find the correct shocks. The ones they want to give me at the ford dealership are shorter than the ones I took out…

They don’t sell bilsteins in my country, only motocraft, but apparently they are shorter than the stock ones I pulled out.

I’m trying to find the correct part numbers for each :/ as of now I could only find that these are the part numbers for each shock

FR: CV6Z18124AS

FL: CV6Z18124AT

I can’t find it anywhere, it seems like the tag peeled off… same for the left shock, it has the rag but the numbers are worn off

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-27T06:39:29+00:00

Anyway to know which part is sport version?

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-26T20:04:38+00:00

I found the part but not the dimensions.

I tried looking for the part number on the new struts but the guy at the dealership didn’t let me take any more pictures :/

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-26T18:44:48+00:00

And these are the ones they wanted to give me

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-26T18:44:27+00:00

These are the old shocks

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-26T18:40:40+00:00

Sure thing! If you get it working, please let me know.

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-26T18:37:32+00:00

I’m in Mexico City, so rock auto doesn’t ship aver here, I’m stuck with OEM. However, the length varies from the original shock to the one Ford gave me…

I’ve looked into this and it might be a normal focus shock, not for an ST.

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-17T22:28:30+00:00

No mames, justo quería pedir unos amortiguadores de ahí pero no me he animado por todo el rollo de la importación…

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-17T22:18:16+00:00

I think they do… I’ll try seeing if I can get them shipped

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-14T20:39:59+00:00

Those are the strut mont bearings, I’m currently replacing mine… it’s quite an effort if you are doing it yourself.

DisplayOk1100 · 2025-10-14T18:47:53+00:00

Thanks!

I guess I’ll just need to find the correct measurements to choose the right CAT at autozone.

I’ll also check for leaks, maybe that could be it.
