Has anyone had any success with locating adjustable strut tops, or an alignment place that is good with Mondeos?
Hi BB,

We owned an MA Mondeo earlier on and that chopped out the inside corners of the front tyres in 15000Km after the 15000 Km service when the dealer said I ought to have the car wheel aligned "Just in case" and I agreed.

That led to some intensive research and the Tyre Dealer who supplied the replacement tyres provided me with the front end alignment figures that he found after new tyres were fitted and they were well outside the Ford specs - which calls for slight toe in at the front. They were adjusted for toe out by the front end "specialist" at the 15,000km service I suspect. After the correct figures were fed in the new tyres lasted 45000 Km with flat wear across the tread.

It led to a thread in this sub forum in about 2010/2011, so some years ago. I'll see if I can find it and post the link, it has, as I recall, some details about the alignment specs for the Mk 4 (ie MA, MB and MC) cars, all of which were built on the same platform.

Given my experience I would be looking at poor wheel alignment first being responsible for your experience.

Cheers
