After driving half an hr on freeway and start driving in city roads every time I turn a corner I hear this whop whop whop noise from the rear! Not sure what it is. Could it b a diff or suspension problem? It only dose it when turning a corner driving straight everything sounds fine! Cheers guysPhil Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86714-diff-noise-or-something-else/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need some new grease. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86714-diff-noise-or-something-else/#findComment-1438614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When car is cold everything is smooth and sounds nice but once driven for 30mins or so it's so clunky and noisy no matter how smooth u use the clutch etc! f*cking hate going to the dealers with annoying problems all the time!

Brisan New Member 12 Member For: 12y 10m 6d Posted 19/11/13 11:52 AM Share Posted 19/11/13 11:52 AM Noisey while cornering could be spider gears in the diff, as they only work while turning. Also maybe...wheel bearing...not likely though. Whoop Whoop noise is generally a bearing noise.I did a 10,000km trip over the last few weeks and now have a noisy diff (towed a 12x6 trailer with a small car on it for the last 2500km)Took it in to Ford dealer and they said....One rim is dented and that is making the noise. Long story short...rim was dented on a dirt road on a shortcut trip to Cairns.Anyway, diff was noisy long before then.I have been a mechanic since I qualified when I was 20. Im now 49. These F&%$ H#@$ have NO idea.Going back on friday to sort it out. Very angry....
