I think the rear bushes are a known weak area on the Mk3 Mondeo.

I think aligment can be adjusted but only toe in / toe out, nothing else.

Also the rear suspension on the estate is different (read more expensive) than the hatch and saloon.

That's my understanding.

Toe in toe out only, no camber or anything like that..

If your going to get an aligment check done find a place with a Hunter machine as it will align all 4 wheels to the chassis and give a full goemetry check where the 'normal' laser alignment, where they hang the lasers off your wheels, only aligns the wheels to each other and not the chassis so your wheel aligment could be perfect but a mile out from being inline with the chassis.

It will obviously cost a bit more and will not be quite so widely available but well worth doing IMO, especially on an older car that's probably had the tracking changed so many times in it's life it could be all over the place...
