Your vehicle's differential bushings might be the culprit if they’re old, worn, or cracked. These essential components help control movement in the joints, absorb bumps on the road, and reduce vibrations and noise whether you’re driving forward or reversing. At Ja-Max Industries, your trusted local mechanic in Blackwater, we’re well-equipped to handle this and many other automotive issues.  

The Ford Territory and Falcon are undoubtedly two of the most popular vehicles seen on Australian roads. However, both models are known to experience significant wear in certain rear suspension components, particularly the rear differential bushing. This is most common in vehicles that have covered high mileage, possess high horsepower, or are regularly used for towing.

If you’ve noticed a clunking noise or felt a jolt when accelerating or shifting between drive and reverse, it may indicate that your differential bushing is no longer functioning as it should. The rear differential bushing is designed to ensure a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels, making it a vital part of your vehicle’s performance.  

Ignoring this issue can lead to additional wear and tear on other drivetrain and suspension components, potentially resulting in more costly repairs. Acting promptly when symptoms arise is both practical and cost-effective.

At Ja-Max Industries, your local Repco Authorised Service centre in Blackwater, our skilled team has extensive experience diagnosing and resolving this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a durable Nolathane alternative, which is specifically engineered to address these concerns and restore your vehicle to peak performance.  

Did you know? Upgraded differential bushings, like Nolathane, not only improve durability but can also enhance handling and stability during cornering or heavy towing—offering additional benefits for your vehicle.

If clunking has become a regular part of your Territory or Falcon experience, don’t wait—get in touch with the team at Ja-Max Industries today.

At Ja-Max Industries in Blackwater, we understand how crucial the transmission is to your vehicle’s performance.  

Your transmission enables your car to shift smoothly between gears, and transmission fluid plays a vital role in making this possible. Not only does it ensure seamless gear changes, but it also protects the internal components of your transmission. While transmission fluid doesn’t naturally decrease with use, it’s still important to check its level regularly. 

Over time, transmission fluid can become contaminated with metal particles and debris, which can reduce the lifespan of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly repair, so maintaining clean, adequate transmission fluid is a smart way to protect your vehicle and avoid unnecessary expenses in the long term. 

Additionally, it’s worth noting that transmissions can suffer from overheating if fluid levels are too low, as the fluid also helps regulate temperature within the system.

At Ja-Max Industries, we offer a comprehensive 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report with every full car service upon request. This includes inspecting your transmission fluid, and we’ll let you know if it needs replacing or if your vehicle could benefit from a transmission service.

Ensure smooth gear changes with Ja-Max Industries. We check and maintain transmission fluid as part of our services to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Book a service today!

So it's a good thing this example speaks for itself. There is very little room to doubt that this particular cabin air filter is simply no longer up to the task of protecting the passengers of this vehicle and has obviously not been check or changed in quite some time. We recommend regular car servicing by reputable mechanics to ensure things like this don't get overlooked.

Designed to filter out pollen or other contaminants whilst absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases, cabin air filters have the task of preventing such toxins from entering the cabin of a vehicle - which is basically the air you and your passengers breathe.

But if these filters are not checked and changed on a regular basis the build up of filtered debris begins to impact the volume of filtered air entering the vehicle cabin and the filters become less effective at their primary role.

You might be tempted to try and replace your own cabin air filters but there are a few reasons why you should consider this approach very carefully.

Can you replace your own cabin air filter?
