Ford Falcon: Clunking rear wheel

...

I have two concerns with my 2009 Ford FG XR6 cab-chassis, which I have owned from new. It has done 35,000km. First, there is a clunk in the left rear when I stop. The dealer says that everything is OK and that petrol moving around in the tank is causing the clunk. Have you heard of the same problem in this type of vehicle? Second, when I change gears from reverse to drive or from reverse to park I get a clunk in the driveline. The dealership tells me that this is OK for this type of vehicle. Are you aware of this problem?

I doubt that the clunk on stopping is caused by petrol sloshing around in the tank. The clunk on changing gears is a common one. I reckon both clunks are caused by harshness in the transmission and could be improved by a software tweak.
