hi guys!!!
Did you notice a strange singular vibration (TAC) when moving steering wheel? Only when you're driving with low low speed

Nope, nothing on mine.
Possibly a daft question, do you have lane departure turned on? It can be configured to vibrate and/or assist if you drift out of lane.

My wifes Fiesta has a very slight shudder when turning the wheel very slowly but only (If I recall correctly) when static.
I think its to do with the Power steering motor on the column. Never bothered me, she's never noticed it despite me telling her to try it.
White ST with Performance pack.

To test if it's the lane centering aid first try changing lanes (or drifting close to white lines) without using indicators, then again with indicators. Using the indicators disables the lane aid.
