Hey everyone,

I have been having clunking in the rear of my car for some months now and its only got worse,

when it first started it was only when reversing as it got worse it started to happen on gear changes

or if the car was turning at all. The clunking was quite heavy and solid, could feel it through the car.

Everyone kept trying to tell me its the diff bushes even though they were done 20,000km ago.

Noticing my Swaybar link pins are looking very warn I hit Pat up known at senna_T for some of his

link pins from http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61435-heavy-duty-link-pins-now-in-stock/

They were delivered within 24 hours of contacting Pat and making payment, Since having them fitted

the clunking/knocking in the rear end is completely gone.

Hopefully this can help anyone else out with similar issues.

Thanks Pat!

Provided your shocks haven't sh*t themselves, I reckon possibly the upper outer control arm bushes.

I had a similar noise. Changed diff bushes and shocks, then control blade bushes, then sway bar links then finally upper and outer control arm bushes and it finally went away

I have some noises back there and have misplaced my set of Pat's link pins. Gotta get organised!

Swivel/rose joints. 2 upper 1 lower easy to do with the correct tools! Common problem.

Hey guys!

I've recently purchased a 2nd hand FG F6 with 85000kms on it. I'd got the ZF in it, and is stocko.

I previously had a BF Xr6T and went through the usual ZF replacement filter kit, centre diff bush, etc.

The FG F6 has a knock coming from the right rear side on occasional bumps, and almost sounds like the suspension bottoming out on a bump stop. But on WOT it gets the heavy bump, and when I shut the throttle down suddenly from hard acceleration or WOT it gets the heavy bump too. A few searches have shed light on any number of things, from the exhaust, to suspension, diff bushes etc...

My thoughts are, as I purchased the car from a Ford Dealership, and I live more than 250km from said dealership, I can take the car to a 'preferred serviceplace' for warranty issues. My nearest city is Rockhampton in Central Queensland, and they have a Pedders, and a recently opened Fulcrum Suspension Shop. Should I just take the car in, have it put on the hoist and inspected? If so, what are the areas I need to be aware that the FG's have issues with?

Cheers in advance guys and gals!
