Tyre Wear And Rattling Parcel Tray.

[Guest Anthony72]

My Mondeo Verona 1800 petrol hatchback (1995), has been very good to me, with nothing major going wrong in all those years, but one thing that really irritates me is the tyre wear on the passenger side's front tyre. I've lost count of how many tyres that's been fitted.

Anyone else have the same problem?

 

Another slight problem is the rattling parcel tray. When everything is quiet in the car, I always get that rattling from the rear of the car. Very annoying.

...and use some self-adhesive velcro to stop the parcel shelf rattling. Only

I was looking through the Ford TIS cd for your car (and mine), and it also identifies noise from the rear of the car as the boot lid.

 

Its a different sound to the parcel shelf of course, but its annoying too.

 

They say move the lock to the lowest position (so it shuts really hard) and see how it goes. If that doesnt work, then drill out the rivits that hold the two rubber blocks on at the edge of the tailgate. Put a couple of spacers under the block, and rivit it on again. They say 2mm of washers should do it.

 

Another really annoying one is the knock that can happen when your just rolling straight over slightly lumpy ground (sounds like its in the front footwells). It turns out to be the anti roll bar supports.

There are two collars which can fall off over time, and allow the bar so slide left and right, as well as rotate the way it should. A couple of exhaust clamps are recommended, on the outside of the bushes. There are special clamps that can be bought from ford for this.

 

Ill let everyone know if it works when i do it.

I have found there is also a vibrating noise that comes from the boot around the window area/plastic surround.
