What are the correct (or best) wheel alignment specs. My ST24 has a habit of being blown off line by crosswinds at highway speeds very easily, and pot holes do the same.

Mondeos aren't very common here so it wouldn't surprise me if they've done the alignment to the wrong specs.

WEll, I can give you the specified range for US Contour's (99 model anyway) I'm not sure if it's the same for the Mondy or not.
Front
Camber -1.8 deg."to" +.7deg.
Caster +1.4 deg. "to" +3.4 deg.
Toe -0.17deg. "to" 0.00 deg.

Rear
Camber -1.5 deg. "to" +.5 deg.
Toe +0.04 deg. "to" +0.24 deg.

Total Toe 0.08 "to" 0.48
Cross Camber -.7 "to" +.7
Cross Caster -1.0 "to" +1.0

That's according to the printout i got with my alignment. Those are the specs, NOT my measurements.

Common consensus around here was "as close to 0 (neutral) as possible" for the best compromise.

Thanks for the help guys. (The specs for the Contour and Mondeo should be the same- and if they aren't then I'm willing to give the COntour specs a go.)
