Rear Suspension - Rear Suspension—3.0L Duratec-ST (VE6) Mondeo 2001 (10/2000-02/2007)
Description and Operation

Springs and shock absorbers

The chassis has been lowered by 15 mm. This was achieved with the use of shorter, harder springs in conjunction with a stiffer shock absorber arrangement.

4/5-Door versions

Shorter link rods are used between the suspension strut and the stabiliser bar on the 4/5-door versions as a result of the lowering of the chassis.

Wagon

The wagon versions are equipped with revised bushes on the front lower suspension arms. These display increased long-term durability.
