It is intermittent and of course it will never do it at the dealership but I showed them this video and they said it was perfectly normal. I find it a bit hard to believe so I'm after some alternate opinions.ThanksIMG_0956.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pre-load on the bearings needs to be increased, and it will quieten the trans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OED666, what exactly does preload mean and with insufficient preload, what is actually happening in there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, surely it should be Ford's problem to fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
