Default Re: What problems have you had with your Mondeo?

Things to check:

Mondeo front wheels normally point inward. If there isn't enough 'toe-in' the inside of the tyre will wear faster than the outside and vice versa.

Eyeballing will show what's happening, but too late, that's why I use a tread depth gauge.

Wrong camber also causes this wear issue, but is not adjustable on Mondeo (at least as part of a common wheel alignment) and is perhaps less common.

The rear tyres wear slightly more on the outside. This is not a problem. Unusual wear on the rear tyres suggests getting a 4 wheel alignment using a laser alignment system.

Once you have a 4 wheel alignment, the main thing to watch is the front wheels, as above.



If you get a wheel alignment, I suggest you ask the folowing questions:

What were the initial results?

What adjustments were made?

What were the final results?

Then take a look at the specifications.


Even more amusing: Get two wheel alignments and compare results.


Finally, not much point in doing a wheel alignment if any suspension issues are not resolved first.


I'm not saying IMHO, as an old timer said to me once 'You're not often wrong, but you're right this time!'
And so on ...
