marcelo Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) I have an 2008 Ford Edge that has a shudder in the steering when moving slow and turning, for instance into a parking spot, and/or when stopped and turning the steering wheel. It varies from a faint shudder to where the brake pedal shakes or the vibration is strong enough to feel on the floor boards. Worth mention this shudder does not happens all the time. For instance, it rarely happens when I maneuver the car in the first start in the morning. But after riding for like 5 min or so I can feel the shudder ( when stopped and turning the steering wheel or moving slow and turning) The dealer already flushed the power steering fluid which didn't solved the problem. Has anyone had a similar problem? Edited August 29, 2011 by marcelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone had a similar problem? Sounds like the power steering pump. Did you try replacing the belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcelo Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Update: I had the steering wheel fluid flushed today and the shudder almost disappeared. Update 2: The shudder is back. Edited September 7, 2011 by marcelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
