ford falcon fg suspension problems

The FG Falcon rides like a lounge room on wheels—until worn bits start creaking like an old jetty.

Typical suspension problems are mostly age-and-kilometre wear, and they’re fixable without selling a kidney.

• Front lower control arm bushes and ball joints: clunks, tramlining, and uneven tyre wear.
• Rear differential centre bush and cradle/subframe bushes: thump on take-off and over sharp bumps.
• Sway-bar links and strut top mounts: low-speed rattles and driveway knocks.
• Leaking shocks/struts or tired springs: floaty ride and longer stopping distances.

Get a proper inspection and alignment, then fit quality bushes and dampers; the big Aussie sedan glide usually returns, and so does your sanity.
