I replaced these on my BA xr6t about 60 000 ks ago as I had front end apart. Old ones seemed ok but anyway. I replaced with a pair from eBay for $28 a pair, seller told me they supplied them to some Ford dealers as there the supplier for the genuine ones....no idea how true but they looked I identical to the Ford ones. Just wondering when I should replace again. There is a clunk in front end that's felt in steering wheel when turning or turning into a driveway actually kinda like a pop in steering wheel... From what I remember it was very very easy to press the ball joints in So hopefully the cast iron arm is not worn where the ball joint presses in.. How many times before I have to replace the whole arm? How do I check ball joints? Should I disassemble and see if they move freely?

Can't help with problem but im havintheg the exact same problem with my BA xr6t auto besides the puley noise at startup . I have been told boost leak however I have checked all and seems good . also herd could be harmonic balancer but not sure about that???

My BA does similar only when turning right there a faint click.... click that is felt through steering wheel ....does that sound like rack loose? I have had the stabaliser bar mounting loose before and it was much louder clunk

Hi BA xr6t with pbr 325mm front upgrade from factory. I adjusted the brake boosted rod length a while back took a bit of force as I'd say it had locktite on it and felt like it would break if I gave to much force. Anyway have horendus brake squeal that I have tried 2 different brake pad choices shims past etc and still the same but also notice that when I'm in a car park or a drive through I can feel and hear breaks dragging as car sometimes won't move. ....does this sound like its the booster? I removed brake calipers and there free. I have herd that the front calipers can stick internally as the pistons are made from bakerlite ?? Is this true? Brake pad choices were qfm hpx and rda extream.

throw the braket out lol

Does ba xr6t have a seal for timing cover? I was told that they don't and its the fg has a seal. How long would it take to change?

If it was installed by him and supplied I would be getting him to fix it. Sounds like either electrical.....or internal. Is the oil correct level? Do u know if the box was working fine before installing it...mine had very similar problem and it was the clutch packs snaped or some sh*t

If its as on enters the diff that's normal...well on mine it was....I replaced diff thinking it was a problem but the recoed diff is the same.... But nice and tight now lol

I work nights and see cops driveig with them on all the time.... . Our our cars...ba to fg....are they driving lights or fog as fog lights should be yellow so ove herd ?? I have herd there once was an option for the to be driving lights...

Thanks for all helpvsnd suggestions. The diff is nice ant tight. Has been recoed. The tail shaft however does need attention. The center bearing is almost split the whole was round and the CV joint to diff does have some play. One thing I have noticed is seems to have a very rough idle at lights recently so maybe a engin monunt has torn...or gearbox mount.......hopefully not a timeing problem.....could I check with forscan?? If its skipped?? Although seems too be idling at 700 rpm....normally 750 rpm

Hi. Ba xr6t sedan 4speed auto. Last couple weeks I have noticed that when giving it a bit ( stock 6psi) and backing off ..if I back of quickly the whole car thups/jolts and sometimes its pretty dam bad. Feels like its comming from gearbox. The center bearing is split but surely that would be a thump not jolt/ thump/ whole car thumps which makes everything in car jolt including myself and passenger. Could be me but seems like it does it more when cars cold....now it has done it in past but seems to be doing it more often. So could gearbox do this? Cause if it can I'm suprised it didn't break anything

Hi ba xr6t sedan. I have super pro Bush's on front control arms. I noticed the big 3pice bush end closest to the radiator support...if I leaver it up and down very gentaly the metal part of the arm moves up and down...like the bush inside the arm is split? I know that part is voided for comfort bit surely it shouldn't have that much play?

Thanks would I need to flar the end of the pipe ?

Hi does anyone have or know what I could use to replace the metal coolant pipe that goes from the turbo to across front of engine on a ba xr6 turbo...mine has sprung a leak in the metal pipeing Is there a lot similar to the oil lines you can get or does anyone have one they don't want....Ford want a stupid price for ot

Can this be installed to a ba xr6t??

Anyone...it's going good now. Found out battery was only at 330cca supposed to be a 680cca so changed battery. Maybe that was causing it?

Haha yeah herd the turbo timers are useless in our cars. Was in there when brought car.

Hi. Ba xr6 turbo with a turbo timer. Anyway today took car to shops....went fine then when turned car off and removed key the turbo timer counts down bit at same time the interior heater fan came on full speed... Only way to stop it was put hand break down which kills the turbo time when tuned car off completely. Hasn't done it since and start and stopped bout 4 times after. I have herd of could be water in thebthermo fans for radiator that can cause this as it sends a bad signal or something. Could it be ignition switch?

I noticed with my after market shafs that its a tripod joint at the diff end not like the genuine one. So when I removed mine to swap diff I needed to leaver gentaly

Exhaust manifold leak?

So they don't get lazy at all in high milage?

That sounds like ignition coils...
