brueg Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I have the XLT cargo version and have heard the same sound. With mine I've found I can drive the same bumpy road later and not hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepper Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Sorry Steve for the lack of response. I am not sure what the noise is, may have something to do with the leaf springs? Are you loaded or unloaded when you hear the noise?? Is it intermitant? There sometimes, gone other times on the same road? How many miles on your transit?? If you are at 15k the lugs that hold the rear axle to the leaf springs (i believe) need to be retorqued maybe they have come loose? If not, I would suggest trying these two products which could help 1)stop the noise or 2) deaden the sound. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Timbren-SES-Ford-Transit-Connect-2WD-2011-FRTC-/140494727178?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20b623680a http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VANRUG-FORD-TRANSIT-CONNECT-VAN-2010-2011-/110629736865?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19c20bd1a1 Edited December 29, 2010 by zepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Check the jack and tire tools( behind the plastic panel on the drivers side rear) Mine had a similar noise- turned out that that's where it was coming from! Hope this helps, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REC Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 You can take this with a grain of salt.... I had some really irritating noises coming from the back, and after doing some insulating of the floor and other parts, it became even more irritating. After looking at things for a while, I did a couple of "maintenance type" things and have heard no more since. (Though I do have to repeat the maintenance now and then!) The latches (strikers) for the doors, and the rubber "anti-chucking" bumpers got a nice thin lubrication coat, as did the rubber boots in the rear doorjambs for wiring to pass into the doors. I would NEVER have believed that could be what I was hearing. I kept thinking that a door was slightly loose or something.
