The Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH911XT will fit on a 2011 Ford Focus 2 Door or 4 Door.

It will fit on a 1998 Ford Taurus Wagon, but it will not fit on the 1998 Ford Taurus 4 Door vehicle. The 1998 Taurus 4 door can only use a 2 bike trunk bike rack like the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH910XT.

The Thule # TH911XT bike rack will fit on a 1998 to 2011 Subaru Forester.

I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Thule # TH911XT bike rack.

If you are going to be carrying womens or childrens bikes that do not have the horizontal bar at the top of the frame, you will want to use the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. It attaches to the center seat post and to the handlebar post and provides a horizontal bar, so the bike can ride level on the bike rack.
