2007 Ford XT vibration

For the last three years my 2007 Ford XT sedan has had an intermittent vibration. It happens on the passenger side and when it occurs I lift my foot off the accelerator and it disappears. It feels like the left-hand tyres are on a rumble strip. Servicing and suspension inspections have not been able find the fault and it seems the only way to find the answer is when it eventually breaks down. I would appreciate your advice.

It's most likely the brake booster, which is a known problem on Falcons of that era. The brakes are not completely releasing. Adjusting the rod between the brake master cylinder and the booster, or replacing the booster can fix it.
