Had my auto mod sorted out today - the boys at CNJ in Underwood reckon my ute had one of the noisiest diffs they had heard -Its hard to know - guess it depends what you get used to... a quick call to my mates in ford service and they'll have a new one on the way soon - apparenly its a common problem and they have done quite a few of them... anyone else had an issue???

A mate of mine has just bought a new Territory and was telling me about a clunking noise from the rear.

At the 3k km service last week, Ford said that they were going to replace the diff and tailshaft.......they also said it was a common problem.

Funny how they will not replace my clunking diff...its apparently normal

had this trouble myself, on my 2nd replacement just keep going back till you get a good one. it does happen the one I've got now is perfect

A lot of sedans have diff problems too, especially manual trans equipped cars.

Mine got quieter and quieter the more I lowered the car, standard it was fine, then after a few ks it made itself heard, then I lowered the car on lows and it dissappeared for about 3 months, and then after a few hard flat shifts it reappeared, then I lowered the car again but on lows and it dissappeared again for about 2 months and then after having a couple of bolts come loose on the shock mounts on the leafs it reappeared, and has stayed in a somewhat quiet state.

Wiered, Doesn't stop me punishing it though

Mine was a little bit noisy when fairly new, its either settled down or im used to it

but overall its not to bad.....for now anyway

my diff (xr6 N/A single spinner) has been to hell and back the last 2 months and ive never had a problem with it! spins duelies all the time now I know how to stop the crappy single spinner disease...

Noticed it in mine, it's livable, so long as it doesn't get worse.

On my third diff here......

mmm not sure about mine ocasionally I hear a humming from the rear and a clunking when statuionary but not sure what this is, it could be the diff but just not sure. I want to pin point this before going back to ford. But she still does very nice drifts so im still grinning
