  • Upper Suspension Balljoints in Early Ford Falcons and Fairlanes
    INFORMATION SHEET # 05 - 2004 (V1 August 2004) Upper Suspension Balljoints in early Ford Falcons and Fairlanes Ford Falcon balljoint problem discovered: A Low Volume Vehicle Certifier has discovered a serious problem with aftermarket upper balljoints fitted to front suspensions in Ford Falcons and Fairlanes. Two types of upper balljoints are fitted: • The earlier type has 4 attachment bolts, and fits: (i) 1962-65 Fairlane (Compact) (ii) 1964-72 Falcon XM, XP, XR, XT, XW, XY (iii) 1966-72 Fairlane ZA, ZB, ZC, ZD • The later type has 3 attachment bolts and fits: (i) 1972-88 Falcon XA, XB, XC, XD, XE, XF (ii) 1972-88 Fairlane ZF, ZG, ZH, LTD, ZJ, ZK, ZL The same problem applies to both types. Some of the aftermarket balljoints do not allow the shaft to have enough angular movement, and the limit of movement is reached before the suspension arm contacts the upper bump-stop. When a vehicle’s front wheel hits a bump or a kerb, the suspension travel should be limited by the bump-stop before overloading of any suspension components. The result of movement past the maximum that the balljoint can handle is to cause extreme loading of the balljoint shaft, with a risk of breakage and loss of vehicle control. The cause of the insufficient angular movement is due to a different method of construction from the Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer (Ford). Photographs of examples: Page 1 of 5 Two of the 4-bolt units are compared, at maximum angularity. The OE version (still with rivets attached) is on the left.

Source: News Limited THE last ever Ford Falcon GT rolled off the Broadmeadows production line yesterday as more than 600 workers gathered for the emotional send-off. It was the end of an era and the beginning of the countdown to Ford’s factory closure in October 2016 as production began on the updated Falcon and Territory that will see out Australia’s oldest car maker. Ford will keep building the Falcon sedan and ute — and Territory SUV — for two more years but this is the last Falcon GT of all time. Car number 500 from a batch of 500 was sold in a charity auction last month for $236,100 — three times its RRP — to car enthusiast Steven Clarke, from Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs, who briefly owned one of the very first Falcon GT sedans, and has regretted selling it ever since.
