Why does my Ford Falcon make a knocking noise?

Why does my Ford Falcon make a knocking noise?

The Ford dealer first replaced the outer diff bushes, but when the problem persisted they were at a loss to explain it. All they could do was to tell me the car was not about to break down. I had Pedders do a full suspension check and they could find no fault with the suspension either. But I have noticed other Falcons with the same noise.

Why does my Falcon XR6 have a rattle in the front?

Then there was a rattle which turned out to be the brake calipers moving due to no brake pad left, replaced them and it’s gone. Now there is a rattle coming from the front left somewhere that sounds like the plastic wheels on a storage container you buy from Woolworths or something.

What’s the problem with my Ford Falcon FG?

A problem for all models of BA – FG Falcon are failed front ball joints. The double wishbone front suspension is designed with an upper and lower arm that work in conjunction with a spring and shock absorber to provide stable handling characteristics at all speeds.

What makes a knocking sound from my FG right front end?

If I go up a driveway or over a bump that hits my right front wheel it makes a loud knock. I took it to my Ford Dealer and to a suspension franchise and they both said that there is nothing wrong that they can find, Has anyone got the same problem? Steering rack? I would have thought bushes/ball joints as well though.

Why does my Ford XR6 make a clunking noise?

Hey senna do you think its definately a bush that’s causing the clunk because im thinking about just getting a full super pro rear bush kit and replacing everything? You’ll need to anyway. Trust me. Trust me I’d love too but its gonna set me back a bit cause I don’t earn a lot (uni student), so I really need to way up the benefits vs costs
