Kind of a metal on metal sound.Mine also does it if I go into a driveway at an angle to(ie. one wheel tucked up and one wheel hangs down)Its already been in once to be fixed but as usual they did nothing...Keep me posted if you work out what it is.Anybody got any ideas?Chris Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34714-rear-thumping-noise-in-suspension/#findComment-529053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had a noise 2 years ago, that was like a bowling ball rolling around in the boot when I turned under power or went up driveways. The rear section was totally loose.

Make sure the rear sway bar linkages are in good condition. I had mine replaced within 12 months of new, and even though they looked ok it was not until they were removed and inspected that the problem was evident - bushes were *&^%$#. New ones fitted under warranty. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34714-rear-thumping-noise-in-suspension/#findComment-529647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2fardown Member 526 Member For: 20y 9d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 08/05/07 12:11 AM Share Posted 08/05/07 12:11 AM I'm having the same issue. It started happening after I towed a bit of a load. It only happens on a sharp bump, a slight knock from the rear end.I suspect it's my exhaust as it hangs quite low in the back.
