rob666 Member 62 Member For: 14y 4m 10d Posted 05/03/12 01:34 AM Share Posted 05/03/12 01:34 AM 2010 FG Manual XR6T Ute - 22k on the clockFor most of its life it's made all sorts of noises. In particular is the creak/knock in the back whenever I take off (at any speed) or come to a stop, or go over a bump.It would slowly get worse over time. I would take it to Fraud, and they'd do the general tightening up in the rear. Drive away, no noise.Comes back a few weeks later, over time getting worse until I take it back for it's routine tighten (what a joke).Until this weekend. Was helping a mate move as his apartment flooded (guess he has worse problems than me). So I was putting furniture, etc in the back. Not huge loads, but a load none the less. Now, it is ridiculous. Loud creaks and knocks, 100 times more frequent. Any sort of bumpy road, you'll know about it with these noises. It's bloody hard to explain, but just imagine someone under the car whacking the rear axle with a block of wood. Best description I could think of.This is the big one that is bothering me now (among so many other noises). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 1m 1d Gender: Male Posted 05/03/12 01:39 AM Share Posted 05/03/12 01:39 AM Could be the curse of the bent axle a lot of people talk about, there is something on it in a thread somewhere. Ford will tell you you must of hit a gutter to get out of fixing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhaust hitting, centre bearing gone, diff clunk.... Maybe ask ford what they have tightened in the past to fix the noise. Might give you an idea where to start looking.

They're going to hate me there but I'm taking it back to get it sorted. Also makes a really bad drone at 110km/h but that's another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob666 Member 62 Member For: 14y 4m 10d Posted 06/03/12 03:20 AM Author Share Posted 06/03/12 03:20 AM This sounds almost reasonable. Given that it has gotten worse since loading it up.However whenever it's in for a service they seem to fix it (temporarily) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
