New here. So I have the above problem that started at about 35K miles. Intermittent at first. Happens at low speed turns. Left and right at complete stops or low speed turns. Took it into my dealership and they added more friction modifier and sent me on my way. Worked for a while and at 57K went back added more modifier worked for a while and came back intermittently again. At 70K did a complete flush and fill with Ford lube and modifier.
Again it worked for a while and now the vibration/shutter is worse than ever. It winter now and I have noticed that on cold mornings it does not happen until I have been driving for a while. Very cold night hardly at all.
Now when I look at the owner manual under the heading of Limited Slip Differential it says "The axle may exhibit a slight noise or vibration during tight turns with low speed"
Something to me seems more severe here. Many have told me its the clutch pack binding up. That the above quote from the owners manual is Ford disclaimer to a engineering flaw.
Some have said forget about it. Its just the clutch packs. The vibration will eventual go away and you will just loose the Limited slip feature. Snow Country :-(
I have been a long term Ford guy. But this is bugging me every time I drive it. What is more upsetting is the dealership just added more Friction Modifier and never looked into the problem.
Anyone else out there with this issue?
