Or could someone upload them for me if I email them to you ? what else should I been looking for ? All options or ideas muchly appreciated cheers Michael Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91863-front-end-clunking-ba-xr6/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did lol In a similar fashion, the BA went in today to a different place after my $3k quote to replace all rear suspension parts debacle. Outcome was the centre tailshaft bearing. The ONE thing that wasnt in my massive quote. Not over until the fat lady sings without clunking though - pick it up tomorrow so hopefully all good. OP not sure what your background is, but I personally find suspension stuff the hardest to diagnose at home. There's lots of stuff it could be, but accurately diagnosing is hard. I'd take it around for a couple of opinions and then pick the place that seems the most knowledgeable and reasonable. Especially as front end stuff has safety implications. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91863-front-end-clunking-ba-xr6/#findComment-1598382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
