Ford Falcon: Clicking sound

...

After reading about the clicking noise in the rear of the AU Fairmont I thought I'd tell you about the similar problem I had with a BA Falcon XR8. I had a complete brake refit, but the problem was a bent axle, which I was told occurred through hitting potholes in the road, and made worse by the low profile tyres on the XR8. Hope this helps.

That's possible, but you would have to hit the potholes very hard and very often, even with the low profile tyres to bend an axle, and I would have though you would have picked up by a wheel shake instead of a "clicking" noise. I would also have thought you would break a wheel before bending an axle.
