Default Servo vacuum hose.....

On the servo hose from the inlet manifold to the brake servo (zetec) theres summat that looks like an in line filter. What exactly does it do as we swapped it for a newer straight through servo hose and it made the car judder whilst drivin it?

Just interested why?

Thought it was summat like that!

Didnt really take much notice TBH, just asked a Fords for a replacement as the old one was a bit scraggy and pulls out of the inlet easy. Was only on for a couple of minutes. Scraggy one back on now.
