F0CUE Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I have recently starting getting a popping noise somewhere up back like the sound of metal on metal it's mostly when the car is under load. for example turning right on a hill or pushing it hard up a hill or over small dips. I have recently installed new wishbones, rear springs, Driver side engine mount and new front swaybar links. B4 I continue spending more money I want to see if anyone else has experienced these symptoms. Also there is a faint sound when driving along like glass bottles tapping together and nothing loose in the boot or anything spare is screwed in solid and nothing in the well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONATHAN_11_80 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Have a similar noise on mine from the rear both rear drop links replaced with genuine ford ones. I was thinking maybe it was the top mounts for the rear shocks. Think I might need to replace the front drop links fairly soon aswell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 The droplinks both look fine but so did the fronts until they were removed cheers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Got it on the ramps today and found the issue. The manifold/cat combo at the front it's bracket has snapped allowing the exhaust to move and the backend swings towards the petrol tank. I can either get it welded or have to get a new one do you think it would last welded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
