You have more then 1 motor mount some cars even have 3 even 4. And at least 1 transmission mount some have 2. So that being said which mount are you looking for. The mount is a rubber mount with 2 bolts or studs on each end. They hold the motor to the frame or crossmember. There are also dog bones. Which stabilize the twisting of the engine. The engine mounts are most times at the front of the engine left and right.
The focus has so many engine mounts and transmission mount failures. Check the trans mount under the aircleaner assembly for cracking and excess movement when placed in gear. I dont recall front mount but if theere is movement it is best to replace them all at the same time. The trans mount and right engine mount are the easiest to replace. But for forward and backwards movements and noises replace the front ( if applicable) and rear engine mounts.
I\'m assuming you have the 3.8 engine,although i believe the firing order is the same on all there v6 sideways mounted front wheel drive Windstars. That firing order is 1-4-2-5-3-6, with 1-2-3 going from left to right on the back side of the engine and 4-5-6 left to right on the front side of the engine.Looking straight down at the coil from the front of the car,you\'ll see 2 rows of coil terminals.The row on the right side is 1-2-3 going from top to bottom,row on left side is 6-5-4 going from top to bottom. Hook the number 1 coil terminal to the number 1 spark plug ,being careful to use the spark plug wire that is closest in length to the length you need. If your just replacing wires,yuo shouldn\'t have to much trouble. If your nreplacing the spark plugs you will find the ones in the rear,especially the number 2 [the middle one} are pretty difficult without removing the cowling. A total pain brought to you by the designers at Ford!
What year car?? What engine??? What do you mean import,,its a ford focus ??Did the vibration come right after the timing belt was installed..??The major problem with the focus engine mounts was the one under the battery..And the one right above the timing belt..If it was fine until the belt was changed,,then he probably didnt install the mount right or left something off..You have to remove the mount to do a timing belt,,so i would go back to the mechanic..The mounts can look fine ,,but still be worn or not properly installed
1 motor mount right front side, then there's a trans mount left front & torque strut mount. I checked out a nice Poly set (eng & trans) on eBay at about 28.00 includes shipping. Item #170433115996
Not trying to insult your intelligence, I'm going to get pretty basic here,
Looking at the Front of the engine, the spark plug order is 1, 2, 3, and 4. Front to back.
Looking at the distributor, it has two mounting screws for the distributor cap. One is close to the engine, the other screw is on the other side.
Looking at the distributor cap screw, on the Far side away from the engine, Number 1 spark plug is on the tower to the Left of it.
To the right of this distributor cap screw, is Number 2 spark plug tower. The rotor turns clockwise.
Again, looking at the distributor from a top view, there is a distributor cap screw at the top, (Close to engine), and a distributor cap screw at the bottom.
Drawing an imaginary line from the top screw to the bottom screw, Number 1 spark plug wire goes to the Left, of the bottom mounting screw.
Firing Order is 1-3-4-2 The rotor turns Clockwise, (To the right)
On my 05 model, you need to twist the ford badge on the bonnet anti-clockwise, pushing the left side of the badge down, which will reveal a keyhole. This is then opened with your ignition key. Once the bonnet pops, you just need to release the bonnet catch.
Hope this helps.

To my knowledge, a 2003 Ford Focus 2.0 SPi engine would need 4 quarts of engine oil (roughly 3.78 liters). Incidentally, the Ford/Cosworth Zeta/Zetec engine would be needing 4.25 quarts (~4 liters).
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
