Seriously thought I think it is the brake pad shims if it is like a metallic tink noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When selecting sports mode and holding it in gear I hear clicking sounds at a point where I think it should be chasnging gear in D for drive. Is this what you are hearing? Is this normal??

deadlydave86 Member 40 Member For: 17y 4m 11d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 09/02/08 07:16 AM Share Posted 09/02/08 07:16 AM Is the clicking noise when you turn mate?When I posted a question about this I was told that it is something to do with your power steering rack. There are shims that can be put in there to make the clicking stop but as far as I know it doesn't hurt any thing it is only annoying to listen to. Someone more experienced can probably confirm this.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't notice this initially when driving from the dealership but not long after when I returned to earth from the XR6T experience I noticed a clunk sound from the engine bay when driving off at low speed (under 10km). This sound only occurs from initial start-up & then occurs when driving off at low speed & doesn't occur thereafter. One thing I've noticed is that the sound is becoming fainter as the K/ms increase on the car. Reading this forum topic I'm assuming that this may be the ABS priming itself but I'm not sure? Any feedback would be appreciated as I recently I had my 3000km service to which Ford stated they didn't hear anything that was concerning which is Buls*%t as at that time it was as noticeable as closing your door. Also when I checked my tyre pressures after the service they all varied, 35psi on the fronts, 38 on one rear & 42 on the other. Now I've been supplied a customer survey form from the dealership which I was intending to give them a rightful servicing but thought with record keeping & day & age they may review & create more grievance for me if I was to go back for the next 15,000km service. Again any suggestions or possibilities regarding this sound would be appreciated!!! Cheers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
