SCZZI New Member 4 Member For: 8m 7d Location: Perf, WA Posted 23/08/24 01:54 PM Share Posted 23/08/24 01:54 PM 2003 BA XR6, recently had rear cradle switched out with a wrecking XR8 one before sale. Noticed today there is a loud knocking/clicking noise from the rear when reversing. I have the 5 speed manual transmission and expected some noise when reversing but not this much. I also noticed a small oil leak from around the transmission area. I thought maybe the rear bushes are out but I'm not sure if it could be anything else. https://streamable.com/j8a58r <- video of noise reversing.

Do you know if it happened before the cradle was swapped? If it was not, that rules out something in the gearbox. If you jack the car up and turn the wheels by hand, is there any difference in movement/play from one side to the other? I am wondering if its to do with an axle, but that is only a guess.
