05 2.2 Rear Wheel Camber - lovehandles
I have just had to replace both my rear tyres on my 05 Mondeo Ghia X estate as they were bald on the inside edges after 25,000 miles (4 mm left on middle and outer edges). The original OEM tyres went for 47,000 miles and the wear was very even when they were changed !

When looking at the rear wheel /tyres with the car on a ramp today there is a pronounced camber - they certainly don't look right to my ignorant eyes ?

After searching around I have found some references to this sort of issue with Ford Mondy estates- can anyone provide more info on why this has happened and advise of a good garage in the Keighley/Bradford/Leeds area who can re-set the tracking - camber etc.

Many thanks.

Matt

AFAIK the camber is not adjustable but the toe is. I suspect that it's probably down to worn suspension rubber bushes in the bottom arms.
