mercuryturbo Oh look.... a real car, with no hair dryer Donating Members 1,724 Member For: 18y 9m 7d Gender: Male Location: Fear and Loathing in Callala Bay Posted 05/11/07 08:01 AM Share Posted 05/11/07 08:01 AM Recently I've been getting a loud clunking noise from the front end of my T. It only ever happen's when reversing & turning at the same time, ie backing into my driveway.My mechanic reckons its the lower ball joints & if I replace them the clunk will disappear forever, I'm not so sure.Anyone got any ideas? It seems to be getting worse & is really starting to give me the sh$ts.Cheers guys.

Dealer could not locate it. Neither did the guy who fitted my Whitelines. Failed a Warrant of Fitness and they found the problem. Lower BJ on left hand side.CheersVeluto Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39542-clunky-front-end/#findComment-592783 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford released a TSB on the steering creek as owners were having so many problems. Its a warranty job so take it to your friendly ford dealer Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39542-clunky-front-end/#findComment-593229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
