Hi Everyone !
I need yours help. 3 month ago I bought Ford Falcon BA XT from 2005 year. Everything was ok till last week when I started to hear some wierd noises from the bottom of car, just below driver. On the begining I thought that my exhaust has some loose because problem occur mostly when I put on the D or R, but it was also a little bit heard on neutral gear. I checked the car and all exhaust holders was ok, but I found that driveshaft central bearing (this with the rubber around) is damaged. I bought new one and unfortunately after change of the part I started to have arising vibration above 70km/h. This is not enought, I also have the same noises what was before with the car.

Our next step will be change of the U-joint which is just next to the bearing but I not sure that it will solve the problem because part looks ok.

I would be grateful if anybody could support me with this issue or maby you know some good mechanic with driveshaft and falcon experience in Perth.

Kind regards,
Bartosz

Cant recommend mechanic in w.a im in vic. But check the rear uni, also look at uni/ dampening block at the back of the transmission. Also check the front wheel hubs, to do this jack car up, one side at a time if its easier, grab top and bottom of wheel and see if there is any movement (push top inwards and pull bottom outwards then reverse procedure) do that a couple of times on each side, if there is movement then that could be your problem. Noise travels in weird ways in a car so where you think the noise is more often than not its in a totally different place.
