The power steering pump has in and out play in it is that a bad bearing? Squeals like crazy when running.

 

When you say Squeals.. is it like a fan belt squeal or the famous Ford Whine?

Ford has always had the problem with their power steering pumps making a annoying whining sound.


Does your power steering work okay?

 

Yea it works and its the famous ford whine! I swapped it with a brand new unit today and still does it. What a nightmare it is to get the pulley off and on! HOLY CRAP.

Anyways the sound is still there so I am guessing something with the pulley

 

FIXED!

Swapped on a new pulley and its fine now.

 

so that sucks, you were out a cost of power steering pump only to find the problem to be a pulley... or was the pump bad too..
