IH8TOADS Silver Donating Members 3,618 Member For: 19y 9m 21d Gender: Male Location: OZ Posted 18/05/06 11:06 AM Share Posted 18/05/06 11:06 AM I have a noise and vibration that is only really evident between 75 and 85 km/hr. The noise is like the wheel going around and touching something every 0.7 sec.........I can't pinpoint the noise (seems general) and even youngy could feel the vibration in the passenger seat. It does the same thing in any gear so long as your doing 75 - 85. I've checked under the car thoroughly and the only thing I spot is an issue with the tailshaft - diff joint). There is these small plastic looking clips and they seem to be missing on one side. I have not got a digital camera here so I can't post photos.Could this be the issue.....small plastic clips??......can someone please check if they have these on all sides of the shaft/diff joint.Much appreciated cheers lads.

I have had the same issue in my Typhoon between 100-110 then from 160 plus. They have checked everything and can't figure it. It;s going back in for G/Box, Diff, Clutch and Pressure Plate checks next week Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25455-tailshaft-diff/#findComment-383342 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this must have caused it but there is not a scratch underneath the car anywhere (besides when the engine was removed!!!!)I dont know, but I first want to know if these plastic clips/weights are found all around the tailshaft / diff joint. I'll take it to ford and see what they reckon.As for 260.......crikey Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25455-tailshaft-diff/#findComment-383670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
