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 B & E Doherty PL Mechanical Repairs, your trusted local mechanic in Wauchope, 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 B & E Doherty PL Mechanical Repairs, your local Repco Authorised Service centre in Wauchope, 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 B & E Doherty PL Mechanical Repairs today.

Smooth Out Clunking in Your Territory or Falcon

At B & E Doherty PL Mechanical Repairs in Wauchope, 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 B & E Doherty PL Mechanical Repairs, 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 B & E Doherty PL Mechanical Repairs. We check and maintain transmission fluid as part of our services to keep your vehicle performing at its best. Book a service today!

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Wauchope

You are welcome to enjoy "Another Heartfelt Christmas Album" sung by our own Bruce Doherty from Repco Authorised Service in Wauchope, repeating his acclaimed performance from last year.

After his very well received first Christmas song collection, Bruce has been asked more than a few times if there will be a follow-up - and after raising over $7600 for charity with the first CD, "How could I not do another one?" says Bruce.

To get your own copy, please make a $10 donation to the Kids with Cancer Foundation. The new CD is available from Bruce's car service station on 57 High Street, the Wauchope Gazette office, Holiday Coast Credit Union branches and the Repco shop in Port Macquarie.

The CD contains songs: It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Aussie Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Let it Snow, Rockin Around the Christmas Tree, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Joy to the World, Once in Royal David's City, The Holy City, How Great Thou Art and Hallelujah.

The multi-talented mechanic singer recorded his first 'home-made' Christmas song album last year as a tribute to his sister Sue he lost to breast cancer. Now furthering the charitable cause and raising awareness, Bruce Doherty is sharing his singing gift and love for Christmas carols with the community and supporting the small independent children's charity. Receiving no government support, Kids with Cancer Foundation sends 100% of the received donations to families of children aged under 12 with cancer.

Originally producing a hundred CDs, Bruce estimated to raise a few hundred dollars for the charity, yet the demand was so hot, Bruce ended up burning more than 1500 CDs, staying up to 2-3am in the weeks before last Christmas copying and tagging the hotly demanded song collection.

Having initially made "just a small recording in remembrance of my Sis'"', Bruce was "utterly amazed that people are enjoying it this much", as some customers even bought ten CDs at a time. In total, $7688.40 was raised for the McGrath Foundation and the people of Wauchope and the local area deserve a big thank you for working with him to raise thousands supporting the quest to find a cure for and support victims of breast cancer. "It all went to a charity for a worthy cause, it's got nothing to do with me - all I've done is supplied the voice..." Bruce is humble, yet touched by the absolutely unbelievable outpouring of emotion. His sister had often told Bruce that he should make a recording of his singing, but he had never got around to it while she was alive. Bruce said his late sister's daughter had rung him the day before after listening to the CD and told him, "Mum would be so proud of you."
