New Suspension Arms - Query

Featured Replies

I've had new rear suspension arms fitted on my '62 Mondeo 1.6 Ecoboost (Petrol) for a MOT Pass.

With these new suspension arms fitted, what concerns me is whether the new central Bolts are at the bottom of the arms so are these supposed to be dropped off centre downward? Is this looking normal when fitted with new bushes for the bolts? 

Can anyone confirm please?

Yes that's potentially fine.  Those bolts are concentric so the rear toe (wheel alignment) can be set using them.  It does seem a bit odd they're both identical though, was the rear toe set after they were replaced?

Hi TomsFocus, apologies I missed your reply somehow and just it in my profile posts 😕

So yes, all 4 wheels were laser re-tracked and re-aligned after the rear suspension arms were replaced for the MOT Pass.

I presume the garage set the rear wheels toe was parallel with new rubbers and suspension arms in place, and then lined up the fronts which may be a little worn to align with the new rears. So perhaps this may be why the bolts for rear toe are seen to be identical?

Currently the wheels are all running true and there is no adverse wear on the rear tyres at all thankfully ☺️
