sometimes when taking off at the lights my ba xr6 makes a loud thud. I have no idea what it is, sounds like something might be loose maybe. Any ideas, Sounds like its right under the drivers seat as sometimes i can feel it.

Diff bushes. Might wanna get them checked out. Could be getting the thud through the driveline.

typical b series noise, the fairmont does it as well.
turn off the traction control and take it for a drive and see if it stops the noise or limits the amount of times the thud happens, if it does help diff back lash needs adjusting and needs a service cheers bear |

Have you tried taking the bowling ball out of the boot?

Come to think of it, it does do it when traction control is off.

Go and get the diff bushes checked out. The B series have 3 bushes. Usually the centre one goes but you change all of them when you do them because its a pretty big job to do.

Ok well seems i was wrong. It does it even with traction on, but not as noticeable. How much $$$ am i looking at for diff brushes?

My ute has clunked from factory, but I think they only employ deaf people at the dealers these days. I know my problem is diff backlash. Unsure of pricing on the diff bush's though sorry. |

So does diff backlash do damage? |
