Only my persistent nagging resulted in the problem being found.←someone been jacking it via the crossmember tab???

I must admit that was my thoughts when I was told about it, but now that it's replaced the problem is gone that has been there from prior to any jacks going near the vehicle (unless pre-delivery I suppose). At least now without the fear of a wheel or two falling off I can steer around corners rather than drifting Oh and XR06T got no pics sorry - but there must be a new TSB released to put anti-seaze on the steering rack rather than the previously advised chamfer & washer trick. Perhaps that may be the answer for you.It all seems a bit hit n’ miss for the ford mechanics actually; spend a few days going through all the applicable TSB’s and then if you have no luck perhaps have a decent look at the problem and try and figure out what’s actually going on!

The Alignment bloke said that the nuts on the crossmember were loose, I said " How loose " & he said "about two turns". On driveing out I'm sure I heard a faint clunk as I was turning to the right. Will let you know after a couple of days as to the outcome, but I have a sneaky suspicion that its still there. I can't believe that it would be that loose after the Dealer said that it had been tightened. Have a sneaky suspicion that it may be the Rack. You can turn it lock to lock & there is no clunk, but this could change when there is pressure on the system in a turn. If they haven't fixed it than I feel that it is going to be a hard one to find, as it's intermittant.In reading this topic I just realised that I never replied to my outcome on this problem.The problem was found: Steering rack was loose Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/29227-unknown-thud-noise-coming-from-left-front/page/4/#findComment-535248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
