jetmani Member 28 Member For: 15y 23d Posted 12/12/11 09:01 AM Share Posted 12/12/11 09:01 AM I have a slight wining noise between 90-100kmh, when I back off the noise goes away, I think its the diff, Are diff issues common in the FG?Where's the best place in Melbourne to get it checked out and also not get ripped off?

unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 29d Posted 12/12/11 10:51 AM Share Posted 12/12/11 10:51 AM FG Very common, mine had it from day one, ford said "normal operation" after several attempts to get it replaced I modified it so I will be getting a truetrak built for it when money allows, ford factory diff=rubbish. If you have no warranty speak to Mick or Bel from Pitlane and see if they recommend someone to you. If you have warranty trundle back to Ford and ask for a fix/replacement ASAP.

jetmani Member 28 Member For: 15y 23d Posted 14/12/11 07:44 AM Author Share Posted 14/12/11 07:44 AM I took the car to a diff joint in Melbourne yesterday , the guy took it for a drive and he also seems to think bearings and mentioned wave spacers from Ford, he quoted me between $650 and $1500 to repair,Does this sound like a fair price?

unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 29d Posted 14/12/11 09:04 AM Share Posted 14/12/11 09:04 AM For 1500 thast a completely new truetrak and gears included, not standard ford sh*te, but if its on the lower side $650 its a much better option if you arent going to be running serious power through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
