2001 2000 Wheelbase - Estate Vs Hatch/Saloon - Chad.R
I wasn't sure where to post this......here seems a good place as any;

Does the Mondeo mkIII use the same wheelbase for all the variants?

The estate body is obviously longer but I can't seem to find out whether there is a difference in the wheel base too.

Thanks in advance.

Wheelbase is identical with both saloon/hatch and estate variants - 2754mm.
The saloon is shortest in total body length at 4731mm with the hatch being 4753mm, and the estate is 4831mm long. Good luck fitting one in your garage!

Also the estate models have a different rear suspension set up (same as x type jaguar saloon)and generally do not suffer with the common problem of rear subframe worn bushes.hth
