Ford Territory 2005 Problems

The vibration is possibly a problem with the front drive shafts, the clonk, clonk noise most likely the front ball joints.

Diffs and diff mounting bushes are known problems with the Territory, but I’m not aware that Ford has been replacing them free of charge. I would still advise you to contact your Ford dealer and request assistance in fixing the problems.

It is quite common on the Territory; we’ve had plenty of reports of it happening. Past estimates suggest it costs $400-$600 to do the bushes.

The original fitment Goodyear tyres are no longer made in Australia, Goodyear is now importing its tyres like all other tyre   companies operating here. Once there was no alternative, but to buy the Goodyear tyre, but there are a now dozen or so brands making   tyres of the right size for the Territory and the best advice is to shop around and take the best deal going. They are all much of a muchness so you can buy on price.

No, they aren’t, and the Territory does seem to suffer more problems than most, even the Falcon. There’s not much that can be done about it, it comes with the territory so to speak.

WE HAVE had some reports of rear brake hose failures and also wondered why Ford only recalled the Territory to replace the front hoses. We can't say that it's as serious as the front brake hose failures turned out to be, so we will watch with interest to see how it develops. I wouldn't hesitate: replace both hoses.

I hope it continues, but other owners have had brake hose failures on Territorys and Falcons. Even the advice that it is not a common problem suggests that whoever gave you the advice knows of the problem.

IT IS great that you are getting a good run and I hope it continues, but other owners have had brake hose failures on Territorys and Falcons. Even the advice that it is not a common problem suggests that whoever gave you the advice knows of the problem.
