Hello again Xr6 fam, (that was gringe I apologise) So for a while now I've had this weird squeak when turning. It mainly happens when I'm parking, so slow movement and when I'm on and off the brakes. It happens every now again if I'm turning from a standstill at a traffic light. I've been under the car, checked the upper and lower control arm bushes, and the radius arm bushes thinking it could be one of the culprits. I didn't notice anything bad with the radius arm and lower control arms but the upper arm bushes were completely toast on both sides. I replaced them with the superpro replacement arms (TRC1008) and also put in the camber adjustment kit from superpro too. The squeak it still there!! I've recently just taken the brake calipers off to inspect them and the rotors, the front rotors are probably due for a replacement soon, the lip at the edges is pretty deep. The rotors came off really easy! weren't stuck like they were on my brothers FG mk2 turbo, had to hammer the f*^%ers off. I did notice though that because they came off easy, they also could squeak a little when it wiggled them (this was with the brake calipers on). The squeak from this was a little different to the one I've been hearing but that could be because the load on them is different in both cases. Is this a common thing with falcons? I'm thinking I might replace the rotors and put some anti seize on the wheel hubs to see if it stops the squeak. Any other things worth giving a try? Also, what is a good indication that the radius arm and lower control arm bushings are flogged? -
Grinding / Clunking Sound When Braking & Reverse
ToXic BF Beast posted a topic in Driveline Workshop
Hi guys I have this grinding / clunking sound that happens when I'm coming to a complete stop such as traffic lights / driveways / 3 pt turns.. It ONLY grinds & vibrates right as I'm about to stop,, so the last half a metre or so. (It's even louder in reverse) As soon as I accelerate It goes away & I don't hear it again until I come to another stop. If I brake quite hard or fast, it doesn't make the noise... -no warning lights are displayed - I ran a faults check with TORQUE + OBD2 scanner but only returned a "P1000 powertrain error".... Which apparently is normal for some fords????? My apologies if this has been answered, I'm a newb. I read all similar Q's on this forum but I got 48 diff theories which confused me more than I already am. I will post a link to the vid I just recorded, so u can hear for yourself. Or YouTube 'BF Xr6t grinding noise' Please help falcon dudes!
