ok heres the story.. i just came back from a drive bout 10 mins ago.. i put my foot down to overtake and then backed of and felt a big clunk.. i dont know what that could of been or what it was. but ever since i have owned the car when i go to stop.. lets just say im driving through a suburban area and come to the end of the street and is about to turn i slow down as u do so u can see if there are any cars coming... then when theres none i DONT come to a complete stop but when i slow down and then go to take off i sometimes.. not all the time but sometimes feel a clunk not as bad as i did not long ago... now i was thinking maybe my diff but im not 100% sure as i am not a mechanic.. so please tell me ur thoughts thanks JO

if it is coming from the rear of the car most likely it is the rear susspension (trailing arm)bushes are worn out had the same thing with my old eb falcon a while back and thats what was wrong with it

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 05:47 PM

im not sure if it could be that though its only 2 yrs old... i have a ba so it sounds like its coming from the rear of my car if not maybe my gearbox??

andrewts · 12-01-2007, 05:58 PM

Is it a 4 speed? Our EL shitter clunks like that, and occasionally when changing gears just after negotiating a slow right hand turn. Could be the diff??

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 06:00 PM

Yes its a column shift and a four speed it might be best taking it to ford and saying fix this prob. maybe might need diff oil. its either my gearbox or diff what ya recon?

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 06:00 PM

nice commo by the way even though im a ford girl lol

sfr rob · 12-01-2007, 06:01 PM

sometimes this happens to mine, i just put it down to suspension issues, but it d also be your car shifting down gears????

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 06:04 PM

Haha I'm a Ford bloke actually. I just use that as a way of reminding me of what we beat on the road every day.

Having said that, I don't own a car. :(

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 06:12 PM

don't mean to burst your bubble but a sti subi will spank a falcon 6 if he tryed

82XD393.3v · 12-01-2007, 06:17 PM

and it does sound like the diff is the prob

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 06:17 PM

maybe he didnt try just to make me feel better coz im a chicky

Sladdo · 12-01-2007, 06:17 PM

Ive been in an XH Ute 1997 i think that had a 'clunk' Pretty sure is was a broken engine mount i think.

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 06:19 PM

i might take it to ford and see if they can fix the damn thing

sfr rob · 12-01-2007, 06:24 PM

dont take it to ford... unless its under warranty.
IT most probably is DIFF related if it only happens when you come to a stop.

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 06:27 PM

its still under warranty if it wasnt i wouldnt take it there way to costly!! and they would jib me thanks for help guys

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 06:29 PM

it does it most times but not to a complete stop like slowing down then taking off again

Maybe he wanted to let you infront to check your rear

: !

joe260 · 12-01-2007, 06:43 PM

what did u mean by that?? Jokes

JADED6 · 13-01-2007, 04:02 AM

Yes, it was someones joke. All fun here.
My bet is diff if it feels like it's coming from the rear.

Auslandau · 13-01-2007, 09:36 AM

If it is a BA and only happens when you slow down and take off again and there is a bit of a thud in the rear, its the dif making noises. Mine does the same.......at any speed, slowing down then putting foot down. It has been to ford under warranty and all has been checked and told all OK. At this stage its an annoying noise I have to put up with. We will see. (Want my AU back!)
