Hi everyone,

Have you looked at your suspension to see if there is play on the suspension arms etc. ?? How are the rear brake calipers doing, ever replaced ?? Have you ever had the gearbox fluid and filter replaced ??

Just some potential issues I can think of. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

I recently had a vibration which felt as though a front wheel was out of balance which I knew neither of them were.
Traced it by means of a washing up liquid bottle filled with water to a sticking front brake.
Dismantled the brake and found a pad was jammed in the carrier. Caliper piston was free.
Thoroughly cleaned and greased the brake carriers, renewed the brake pads on both front wheels and problem solved.
Worth considering spraying your wheel discs with water when the problem occurs to see if any of them are hot enough to cause steam.

either a sticking calliper on one of the corners, which can cause a really big vibration, heat test is a good way of checking for this.

if not that then probably one of the lower control arms at the front, check the ball joint end and the inner bush for play with someone wiggling the steering wheel while you have a look, play should be quite evident. False economy to replace with anything other than OEM or genuine parts, though they aren't expensive in their own right. If you need to have them changed check that the garage has done the job correctly as if they don't do it on a 4 post ramp then they will tend to torque them up off the ground which knackers the bushes.... they need to be tightened up on the deck so the bushes are in the right position.... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I had a vibration at low rpm when car warmed up, just before 30 and more of a rumble like a bearing at 60, it turned out to be torque converter

I had a very bad vibration at speed earlier in the year Big Cry - turned out to be a 'sticky' piston in the N/S rear calliper - new callipers and pads from Dan sorted the problem Cool . It was reasonably easy to find, the wheel got very hot compared to the others - the only problem with the FF is it has so much power that you don't notice the drag as much as on lesser powered cars with slightly sticky brakes.
