Which is it?

If you back off under load especially between gear changes you'll be slapping the diff bush or control arms. It's standard.

yes they'll do that when you're baking the tyres

 

The clunk is probably the diff support bushings.

 

edit: car should be fine, rather have a car from the cops cause then I know it's been serviced. my BF is ex cop car and in every nook and cranny is red dust - I assume from the outback of WA.

Factory warranty = good; get them to fix it.

 

dealer warranty = not worth the paper it's written on (sometimes), so don't count on it being valuable, if that's the case.

I bought a harrier warranty as factory I couldn't extend due to ex police vehicle.

It's the ford diff clunk. It'll always be there a little bit but if you notice it a lot (as in the sound is loud and he clunk is harsh) you might need to replace the rear diff bushes I believe.

 

Take it to someone who has experience with Ford turbos and they'll be able to tell you whether it needs replacing.
