When i wheel spin it makes loads of clunking noises..Sounds like something hitting the inside of the arch. At a ford meet before someone told me it was traction control. But i am pretty sure my car doesent have traction control so if its not traction control what will it be ?

Also the new ST i got to go for a drive in it did the exact same noise!

Cheers ben

 

What car you talking about?

A 55 plate focus. But its only the zetec 1.6.

 

Sounds like somethings loose m8

 

Hope not. The ST i went in which is a focus aswel only the sports version that made the EXACT same noise when spiining off.

 

ball joint or bottom arm bushes fuked? jack it up and try it side to side for play

 

I wouldnt have a clue how mate, Being nearly new can i take it in and have it looked at ?

 

hhmm i got an st 170 focer adn it dont make no clunking noise when the traction control kicks in!!!!!!! it judders a bit but thats it!! when you say clunking is that what you mean as imo that means its quite a harsh noise

 

Sounds like axel bounce. The wheel isnt spinning fast enough for it to lose proper traction so it grips and then loses traction again (all very quickly) and makes a horrible judder feeling when wheel spinning and generally isnt good for driveshafts, geaboxes and gearbox & engine mounts so DONT DO IT ROFLOL

BTW if you take a new car back into Ford garage and complain it judders when wheel spinning, they will charge you to look at it and then find something to replace and charge you for that too

 

Cheers mate, As long as its not broke I wont do it anymore

 

Yea, It is quite a harsh noise.

 

as andy says, if you dont make it spool up fast enough you will get a nasty bounce

 

Don't wheelspin then!!!

What does it acheive?

 

Bald tires

 

and it fucks your car up and you look a cock mostly

 

shouldnt make any noices. the traction contol on my focus just cuts all power to the wheels for a second or so and its shit still, it dont make any noices

 

standbye band wagon



because no one has EVER pulled away fast and got some wheel spin have they

 

No hofficer
