Member 753 Member For: 16y 2m 13d Gender: Male Posted 05/08/09 11:00 PM Share Posted 05/08/09 11:00 PM What is the common component shared with both the front and rear suspension that would make the EXACT same rattle noise when travelling over small bumps in the road? For example - cats eyes, small bumps will bring it out front and rear.Car has only done 47,000km. I doubt its shocks... sounds more like some sort of bush... but what bush would be worn front and back to produce the same noise?

Member 753 Member For: 16y 2m 13d Gender: Male Posted 06/08/09 01:25 AM Author Share Posted 06/08/09 01:25 AM Its a noise you can hear through the body, sounds more like suspension rather than brakes...if it were brakes, I doubt they would even work with the volume this rattle is at... possible sway bar....are the bushes the same front and rear?

I thought it was suspension, but turned out to be brake pad rattle. A new set of pads with anti-rattle shims will be going in soon. This may or may not be your issue, but here's a thread on it: http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...c=54239&hl= Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60376-one-for-the-experts/#findComment-917347 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you hit bumps in front and back.that's it exactly. I sounds like shocks to me. But as people have stated, they replace shocks only to have the same noise.... someone has got to know what it is...Do any of the FG owners on here have this problem???????
