hi guys... (question?) my car makes a sound and a wiggle in the trani when i drive... i tried to test it... i parked it on 2nd gear, and then from the roof railling. i pushed and pull it forward and backwards... it makes a sound(cling) or (clonk) i cant discribe it... whats are the cause of these things?

thanks!

worn diffs?

you think so?

If the car is wiggling then maybe you have a bent alloy or a deformed tyre?

I know a guy whose old Sierra (now that's going back a few years) had a wiggle..in fact it made you feel sick to sit in the back. This was caused by loose suspension mounts at the back...when I say loose, I think the rear axle (yep days of rear wheel drive cars!) was held firm on one side and by the propshaft in the middle and the other side just floated free(ish)

Do you get a vibration when you drive or is it just a 'clunk' from the drivetrain when you change gear? There is play in the train and depending on driving style, you can make the car feel clunky.

prop centre bearing.

yah it a little clunky and i feel that it has a small play through the shifter when im holding it.. i think the trani is moving or something... paranoid! hehehe but im sure it makes a clunk when driving slow and shifting...

This is probably more noticeable when you have cruise control on, if I understand what you're describing. With autopilot when the car accelerates and lets off the shifter will move back (decelerating) and forward (accelerating). I'd say it is normal.

hi guys, R12 yah the shifter acts funny.. im geeting used to it now. but i think it can be better ... im 900km away from my next service.. i will ask them to take a quick check at it.. i have the car just for a month1/2 now and drove only 1,200km... so i havent really felt it yet... i just drive in the city... so i havent let loose of the beast yet... just want it to be in top condition and keep it til i get grand childrens.... hehehe, peaceout
