Your vehicle's differential bushings might be the culprit if they’re old, worn, or cracked. These essential components help control movement in the joints, absorb bumps on the road, and reduce vibrations and noise whether you’re driving forward or reversing. At Active Motor Repairs, your trusted local mechanic in Craigieburn, we’re well-equipped to handle this and many other automotive issues.  

The Ford Territory and Falcon are undoubtedly two of the most popular vehicles seen on Australian roads. However, both models are known to experience significant wear in certain rear suspension components, particularly the rear differential bushing. This is most common in vehicles that have covered high mileage, possess high horsepower, or are regularly used for towing.

If you’ve noticed a clunking noise or felt a jolt when accelerating or shifting between drive and reverse, it may indicate that your differential bushing is no longer functioning as it should. The rear differential bushing is designed to ensure a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels, making it a vital part of your vehicle’s performance.  

Ignoring this issue can lead to additional wear and tear on other drivetrain and suspension components, potentially resulting in more costly repairs. Acting promptly when symptoms arise is both practical and cost-effective.

At Active Motor Repairs, your local Repco Authorised Service centre in Craigieburn, our skilled team has extensive experience diagnosing and resolving this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a durable Nolathane alternative, which is specifically engineered to address these concerns and restore your vehicle to peak performance.  

Did you know? Upgraded differential bushings, like Nolathane, not only improve durability but can also enhance handling and stability during cornering or heavy towing—offering additional benefits for your vehicle.

If clunking has become a regular part of your Territory or Falcon experience, don’t wait—get in touch with the team at Active Motor Repairs today.

Smooth Out Clunking in Your Territory or Falcon

At Active Motor Repairs in Craigieburn, we understand how crucial the transmission is to your vehicle’s performance.  

Your transmission enables your car to shift smoothly between gears, and transmission fluid plays a vital role in making this possible. Not only does it ensure seamless gear changes, but it also protects the internal components of your transmission. While transmission fluid doesn’t naturally decrease with use, it’s still important to check its level regularly. 

Over time, transmission fluid can become contaminated with metal particles and debris, which can reduce the lifespan of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly repair, so maintaining clean, adequate transmission fluid is a smart way to protect your vehicle and avoid unnecessary expenses in the long term. 

Additionally, it’s worth noting that transmissions can suffer from overheating if fluid levels are too low, as the fluid also helps regulate temperature within the system.

At Active Motor Repairs, we offer a comprehensive 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report with every full car service upon request. This includes inspecting your transmission fluid, and we’ll let you know if it needs replacing or if your vehicle could benefit from a transmission service.

Ensure smooth gear changes with Active Motor Repairs. We check and maintain transmission fluid as part of our services to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Book a service today!
