o2sucka Member 242 Member For: 14y 8m 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney - Campbelltown Posted 26/04/11 12:30 PM Share Posted 26/04/11 12:30 PM Weird. I have a knocking noise coming from rear left in my fgt. Not long had coilovers put thru it and now got this noise. But as I have played it has to b related. Need a hoist is my issue. It's annoying though, slow car park speeds I hear it and also at 50 60 or so over bumps but it's not as bad as slow speeds. Very annoying. I had pat at wholesale suspension put a rattle gun on everything in the rear but no good. Getting worse argh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any quick bump in the road and sometimes if I am turning right from stationary out of an intersection for example. The sound is as if I have something in the boot that gets a bit airbourne and slams back down on the floor. The boot is empty just to make that clear lol.

Over that time shocks and all bushes replaced. Totally different rear end to FG of course, but most places I've been to laugh and advise me that being clunk-free and owning Falcons are inconsistent life objectives ☺️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 18y 11m 5d Posted 22/05/16 11:45 PM Share Posted 22/05/16 11:45 PM You know, I've always thought it could be the wheel hub not sitting snugly on the axle...because when my brakes are applied and I'm going over the same bumps it sort of muffles the clunks out a bit... It wouldn't have been my first guess...but when Ford has dropped the cradle numerous times and changed all these linkages, and even replaced the shock and the problem persists...you start to clutch at straws...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Ford ones are sh*t , replace the whole blade and bush with Super Pro products and your noise will instantly go , FG with 55000 k's same problem , Ford said nothings wrong , replaced them , noise gone , don't waste your time chasing anything else . From BA to now FG all the arse ends are the same . Every one heads for the diff bush and unless the car has had hell flogged out of it , it won't be that bush . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceDickchops New Member 7 Member For: 9y 4m 23d Posted 16/03/17 05:49 AM Share Posted 16/03/17 05:49 AM My brothers fg had this noise & his turned out to be one of the metal lines under the rear that ran through or close to the L suspension arm. Something like that anyway, but they told him that they just reshaped this tube a little & put a split piece of rubber hose over it that was held with a zip-tie as an insulator & the left turning noise went away. Now if MR Ford Service could only fix the other Gremlins that is in it he would be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
