Reversing noise focus mk2 EU fwd 1.6 tdci
|
|
|
I made some repairs on the front end last year and I got this clunk when I was done. I checked every bolt, wiggled everything with a crowbar. Somebody suggested changing the steering rack after he went for the gearbox and flywheel on his same model car but I wiggled the tie rods and couldn't find such massive play. Yesterday when I was under it changing one of the tie rods I didn't even have to hold the rack to tighten the tie rod, it didn't have any kind of play. Right now I'm concerned about the ball joints I replaced being smaller 18mm vs 21mm but I think I would've noticed such misfitment when I installed them. The brake pads, discs, and caliper brackets I already eliminated. The CV joints I don't know, they didn't pop out or anything weird while they were not connected. The arms bushings are not the greatest but why don't they sound everytime then? This happens when I start reversing. If I stop and continue it's not there anymore. I literally don't know. Last year when it was fresh it was clunking when I was going forward too, from reversing.

Can you get this noise without the car moving, just shifting back and forth from forward to reverse?
Did you get the axle nut tightened down to around 275 ftlbs?

I'd have to use another car to yank it with a rope, if it goes slow, either method, it's not clunking. It happens when I'm reversing on a downhill slope or I clutch it harder.
The axle nuts I tightened at the recommended torque. They're bolts actually and they went for 45Nm and 90 degrees.
Edit: Sorry I misunderstood your suggestion. No, by shifting the gear lever it doesn't do anything.

The axle nut is a bolt on this EU variant. I pulled on the driveshafts they're in there good.

OK, we don't have this car in the US so we won't be able to help you.

Yeah, it won't much matter. You won't listen anyway.
