My friends have a 09 reg titanium 4x4 Diesel Ford Kuga.He came round tonight and said there is a knocking nosie coming from the rear.I drove the car tonight and got it to do it a few times.It did it when i was slowing down.To me it sounds like it coming from the rear diff.When slowing down it feels like someone has bumped into the back of the car.


Like i said it only does it every now and then.Ive looked on the Ford Kuga owners club site and some of them think it could be the back seat.It doesnt feel like it is too me.

Is there any technical bulletins out for this noise on the Kuga.

 

I will have a look at work tomorrow if i remember Glen.

Lol thanks matey.Sounds like you have a memory like mine.

 

There is no technical bulletins for this kind of sound. Are you sure it`s from outside of car?

 

Off road much? Look for rocks...

 

I had a Kuga at work, whit some simmilar sound. It was a spraycan, who was rolling in this rooms under boot carpet, and when it hit the the detachable towbar who also was there, it make some sound

 

if they have rear radius arm like this, check the bush at the front, had a 59 plate S-max in yesterday with the same thing, Ford couldnt find owt but the bush was hangin out, literally.


These are common on Focus too, so will be on Kuga

Sean.

 

Too true Sean - this bush is not a good design. Its on other manufacturers too - a trend in bush design. Gives us something to change tho lol.

 

Im defo sure its coming from the rear.Surely if it was a suspension bush the nouse would be there more oftern.It sounds to me like its from the rear diff/transmission.

 

This is total different from Fous ones, who we change alot of, but i have seen a coupple of this ones where the rubber hanging out on S-max and Mondeo`s

 

Im on about a Kuga not a focus lol.

 

Never to be resolved.

 

My friend took the Kuga to ford today and they said it could be the rear diff solinod....500 quid ooof.

 

My friend said her car has been spot on for the past few weeks.

 

check the rear tyres mate we have changed loads

 

Replaced the rear tyres cause the tread was getting low and they were noisey.Its still doing the same thing and there is a light coming on the dash every now and then too.

 

Thats helpful thanks.

 

Did this ever get resolved also did it ever throw up the traction light at all

 

Nope its still the same matey.Im sure the light is on all the time now matey.

Haldex rear end on Kuga as per VAG TT/R32/4motion, could be controller issue.

 

if its a haldex design like the vags quite often an oil and filter change will cure the noise (on vag) never done one on a kuga

 

They still havent had this problem fixed lol. Its been nearly 3 years now lol.

 

Friends just had an issue with a knocking sound on his Kuga coming from the back. Thought it was outside and it seems to be the rear seat hinge or something. Not sure it would be a dash light on mind!

 

Na the fault is to do with the all wheel drive system. The light is still on the dash.

 

thank for sharing info gclub

 

She still never got this fixed lol. It would of got sorted ages ago if it was mine. This is a good example of people who dont give a shit about there cars.

They have changed rear tyres cause of noise but this has nothing to do with the fault.
