This video demonstrates how to replace the rear shocks found on the 2000-2011 Ford Focus. This was done on a 2003 Ford Focus sedan in the video but the hatchback Ford Focus will pretty much be the same procedure and part numbers, you may have to remove a small plastic trim piece in the rear hatchback to gain access to the top shock mount. Replacement shocks were purchased from Amazon and I have provided a link below I will also include links to some other shock brands and choices depending on preference. I will also include links to some other products and tools to help you through this procedure.
