Did you follow the bleeding procedure properly? The noise is most often from air in the system

Thanks for the reply I had a mac do the work, when i questioned him about the noise he said thats just fords? Sounds like BS to me, also will tires this size affect steering that much?
Thanks Pete

JTire size shouldn't make any difference. A mechanic with an excuse that lame, I would consider finding another. Take the cap off the pump and see if it looks foamy, if so, that is air in the system. It may eventually bleed itself out.
