Ride: BF XR8 Ute

Location: Ridgehaven
SA, Australia

The old ducks 07 BF XR6 makes two knocking noises which happen almost simultaneously when she accelerates from a standing start (Traffic lights etc)

She is not a drag racer by any means either so it is on a normal takeoff.. To me it sounds like it is coming from the rear of the car...

What could it be? Ford can't find anything wrong with it...

Cheers

Alan

And also the rear sway bar links, they have a bush in them, that wears and the rubber bush in the lower rear control arm wears out too. You might also like to check the bush at the front of the trailing arms.

knocking on takeoff is a common problem in the B-series

rear end/diff bushes are almost always the culprit
