WEll thats what i thought phantom,but they reckon its coming from the back ,so we will see mate.

I work at a ford wreckers in adelaide and we sell heaps of hubs for those cars.

just out of interest. which ford dealer u taking the car to?

also, some BA's had dodgy clips to hold in front pads, and they rattle around

on the lighter side you must have man boobs lol sorry could not help myself

i get the clunk too, only when i back out of my driveway also..

i too have the dodgy idle and after researching have come to the conclusion it is the tps sensor.. when the car does the dodgy idle (mine does it when coming to a stop at trafic lights with the clutch in) take it to ford without turning it off and get them to connect their scan tool thingo and it should show them the error. apparently the error is cleared when the car turns of so keep him running!!

im interested in this tsb for the clunk xpression.. any chance you can post up the tsb, or give us a number so i can try an get a hold of it?

one guy on another forum had the clunk, and it ended up being a cracked front x member!! have checked mine out and could not see a problem with that though!

the fix for the steering shudder is a different pipe for the fluid im told.. the replacement is off an xf im lead to believe, thats the only fix for the shudder i have heard of.

best of luck!!

got it back today.been in 3 days.The new diff is mint,spot on,Had new pwr steering hoses and reservoir,adjusted my clutch.The idle is alot better ,but not 100%.They reckon they reset the tps and run a programme through the computer.Long trip tomorrow will see if the noise is still there when it gets hot.
