demented Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The mk5 Escort rear stub axles have a different bolt pattern to the stub axles of a mk6 Escort, that's why its recommended to swap the entire rear beam for a mk5 beam, especially if ABS not fitted as standard to the mk6. So, no, can't bolt a mk5 rear discs assembly to a mk6 rear beam. The Focus rear stub axles/discs assembly will bolt onto a mk6 Escort beam and is recommended, especially if the mk6 has ABS.
