Ford are aware of this problem and are working on a solution for it. There will be some form of a new hose fitted to relieve pressure in the line which is causing the shudder.Have it logged with your dealer as needs fixing and they should tell you the same thing.From my understanding there are a number of members who have this problem.

The bolts come loose. This is a known issue and there are a fair few posts on this in the forum so do a search. I had this and took it ot Ford service dept and they fixed it. I think they grease up the bushes to so it shouldn't happen again.Hope this helps,Greg

They told me they did a few slow figure 8's and beleive that the air will be released and if not return it to them in a week. I have noticed it is slowly disappearing
Cort500 Member 157 Member For: 17y 8m Gender: Male Location: Ipswich Posted 19/03/09 11:34 AM Posted 19/03/09 11:34 AM I have a BF2 XR6T and I have the same prob at low speeds. When I use to work for Expensive Daewoo in the service dept, the VY's had this same problem and in the end all they did was lengthen the power steering hoses to take out the vibration. It seemed to work for the Dunnydores.I am going to take my BF into Ford to see about it soon.Has anyone had any recent success from Ford?
