And I "think" the reason is that the ute has a live axle where the diff moves up and down (sedan diff is stationary) and the axel needs a way to accomodate this. I dont think the standard axles have enough of this "play". Load it to much or lower it to much and it will place to much stress and "Bang" Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/62600-two-part-tailshaft/#findComment-942199 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ute is a FG Turbo 6 sp manual and is stock as a rock..it had 5000km (dealer demo) and the morning I picked it up I noticed the knocking..already Sh*t itself..Im curious too find out what they're replacing it with because if this happens again ill be very dark on ford!!
