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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83374-is-this-noise-normal/ 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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83374-is-this-noise-normal/#findComment-1342066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, surely it should be Ford's problem to fix?
