Its not there when you granny it or when you floor it,just in between.

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 2m 13d Posted 19/09/10 08:59 AM Share Posted 19/09/10 08:59 AM Have you had any repairs done recently? Such as front or rear diff bushes. You may require a front and rear tailshaft balance which can be done at your dealer.

blownaway Member 19 Member For: 17y 11m 11d Posted 10/10/10 01:38 AM Share Posted 10/10/10 01:38 AM (edited) My TTG had the same problem, the tail shafts and the drive shafts had to be replaced it was about $6000 worth of work.ford replaced it under warranty it a common problem in the TTG. All the rear bushes were replaced 5000km later under warranty ford were great about it because warranty had run out about 2 months before. Edited 05/11/10 08:34 AM by RHR No need to quote above post.

ofa180 Member 72 Member For: 19y 5m 26d Gender: Male Posted 05/11/10 05:06 AM Author Share Posted 05/11/10 05:06 AM Well I was wrong,on further inspection,it's not the bushes,the front left wheel bearing has collapsed,haven't had a chance to pull it apart to check the total damage,ie hub etc.Has anyone heard of this happening to a territory?I'm away from the vehice & had the mrs take it to the local ford dealer. After reading through all this http://www.carbuddy....spx?t=2&tid=667it sounds more like the ball joint has failed. I'm just glad she wasn't injured or anyone else as the wheel is just about to fall off!

ofa180 Member 72 Member For: 19y 5m 26d Gender: Male Posted 09/11/10 05:09 AM Author Share Posted 09/11/10 05:09 AM Well it turns out it was the wheel bearing. Got the new bearing in,but there is still a small amount of play in the hub,so unfortunately I will have to get a new hub assembly. Does anyone have any recommendations who to buy through? So far got price from ford & FTG auto salvage,best is FTG for $550 with new bearing.
