They tell you crap like, "oh, the engine is so powerful it makes that noise because it's protecting the driveline from stress". Well, if it's protecting it, why doesn't it clunk all the time? When it shifts nice and smooth does that mean my driveline isn't being protected? Surely it should be all or nothing?Anyway, how dumb do you have to be to realise that the clunk sound can't actually be a good thing, the driveline is getting a 'shock' each time. The smooth changes are good for the driveline, not the clunking ones.Soon I'll get off my ass and get some action there next time it's going in for something else, otherwise all is good.

Guest beloyg Guests Posted 19/03/04 07:20 AM Share Posted 19/03/04 07:20 AM have had steering shudded and clicking whilst turning a lot fairly common problem what you do is takr the steering mount nuts off and oil the threads to acheive the correct tension to minimize the threads from binding whist tensioning also had to replace the high pressure line between the pump and rack this can sometimes cause the shudder Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9714-steering-rack-drama/page/2/#findComment-103147 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont; can you please ask them for me. Give Ian (service mgr) @ City Ford(Crown St) a ring.

What you should do is start to walk out, and when they say, "hey your suppose to pay for this service" turn round and say, "hmm....Its normal" and see what reaction you get. :hiwelcome: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9714-steering-rack-drama/page/2/#findComment-103498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
