I have been living with low speed (I.e. driving slowly in a car park) driveline shunt, but I want to try sort it out if at all possible. Reading on the forums it seems that Ford claims this to be normal etc. however, I would like a way to eradicate as much of the low speed shunt as possible. I had a new Eaton TruTrac diff put in at G&J Diffs Dandenong hoping this would fix the issue, at the same time the guys also checked the diff bushes - all was apparently OK with the bushes. Whilst the car was on the hoist the guy was moving one of the rear wheels backward/forwards, and it moved quite a bit so there is some slack somewhere. Any thoughts? Suggestions of where I could take it in South East Melbourne to get sorted? Cheers, Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,303 Member For: 16y 15d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 19/02/19 10:10 AM Share Posted 19/02/19 10:10 AM almost any ford specialist is the way to go... but G&J should have been able to diagnose it, realistically. Sounds like diff slop or CV's, if the wheels can move backwards/forwards like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only lock when they're being driven forward. Even engine braking or coasting unlocks them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should not be able to free move wheels but I may be reading to much into it take it to a driveline specialist rather than a mechanic. Usually a gearbox/driveline guy is best (I’ve found) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK - I will take it to a driveline place, and see if they can diagnose where the slack is coming from. Any recommendations in Melbourne South-East ? Cheers, Jake.
