94 Ford Mondeo diesel manual,help.need advice,flat-spot and anti-roll bar bushes?

had the car for 4 months now and does little mileage,has done 173,000 already and needs anti-roll bar bushes fitted,what's the procedure?+the car has a flat spot around 2500rpm.is this a turbo problem,like maybe coolant or knackered turbo,otherwise a reliable motor,also ,is it true that they are heavy on the front and wear tyres on the outside,i have noticed this on mine and have been told it's a Ford thing,all answers appreciated,only those whom know the mechanics please reply.thanks.|||Hi,


The anti roll bar has 2 bushes, and 2 drop links,one on each end of the bar,the bushes are held in place by a bracket which is held in place by 2 bolts,these clamp the bush/ roll bar to the front sub frame,just undo each of the bolts and remove the bracket then with draw the bush if you need to replace the drop links ,theses attach the ends of the roll bar to the suspension strut then simply undo the the nut that secures it to the strut and then undo the one that secures it to the end of the anti roll bar.





Turbo.. could just be wear and tear,as already suggested check the condition of all hoses,but do remember that turbo lag is always to be expected on a fairly old design of diesel .








Mk 1 Mondeos do have a habit of wearing their front tyres one thing that helps is to get the tracking set to 0 degrees,but do this after you've done the anti roll bar,they were also quite heavy on their front wish bone bushes,so maybe you should get these checked as well





I used to work for a Ford parts supplier and anti roll bars and the bushes along with wishbones were always in demand|||Hi,


The flat spot around 2500 rpm could be due to a loose air hose.


Some vehicles are designed toe in and or negative camber.


Better have it all verified and adjusted as per manufacturers specifications.





Good luck
