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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cougarcatman Member 8 Member For: 20y 9m 10d Posted 14/05/04 05:27 AM Author Share Posted 14/05/04 05:27 AM I just got it back from th elocal dealer. they suggested it was air in the power steering line which is caused by attempting to steer or turn the wheels when the motor's not running(Which they caused rotating the wheels!) 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
