obi Member 150 Member For: 19y 2m 26d Location: Qld Posted 13/09/06 08:38 PM Share Posted 13/09/06 08:38 PM I am getting a clunk (sounds like the L/H side) from the front end at times when I hit the brakes when reversing. It also happens sometimes when turning to the right without brakes. Doesn't sound like a loose Caliper, but I may be wrong. Had a Skyline once that did the same & it turned out to be loose bolts that held the suspension. Anyone got any ideas ? My BA XR8 did not have this drama. I could let the Masters Apprentice have a look under Warrenty but thought someone else may have experienced this problem & may have a answer. Thanks in advance !

I'll just wait for the 3k service but if you do find out please share so that I can let them know what's wrong with it to make it easier!

Thanks in advance ! ←Speaking from recent experience with the new breed of young Ford Service Advisors they'll probably tell you that purple] 'these clunks are not the clunks you are looking for'Wave there hand in front of you and then say 'you may go about your business'And strangely enough, you'll walk out of there going about your business, not only with the clunk still there but now somewhat puzzled.

It turned out in the suspension and engine mounts but can't really recall to much more than that.

TornadoJudd Donating Members 818 Member For: 19y 4m 28d Posted 15/09/06 03:51 AM Share Posted 15/09/06 03:51 AM I had the same problem. It was caused by tighening the suspension from the factory with no weight put on the suspension components. I placed the car on stands lossend the front suspension and re tightened one side at a time with a jack placed under the lower control arm to put weight on the suspension. That fixed my CLUNK when turning and braking. Hope that can help Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28503-bit-of-help-on-bf/#findComment-435969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
