pk222 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 power steering whine is a common thing on fords. I replaced the power steering pump on both my mustangs and still had the whine and the racks weren't bad. Just about every ford I have seen that is over a year old has the same whine. If you get your rack and pump checked out and their in good condition you'll just have to live with the noise. Turn up the stereo haha The brake fluid made the noise a little quieter but it was still there Quote
nitro229 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Posted June 21, 2010 Yea the radio is usaally pretty loud but like can people hear it if there outside my car? Ohwell, il get em checked out, thanks for the help everyone Quote
pk222 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 yes you can hear it outside. If it just a noise don't worry about it. 2 of my friends have fords and I can tell its them even before their on my street from the power steering whine Quote
nitro229 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Posted June 22, 2010 Well I can feel it I'm the steering wheel, not like it shakes or anything but I can feel it when it whines Quote

iceman1575 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 Dunno how accurate this is, and your cars only 5 years old so it shouldnt be that bad, but check your wheel bearings. Mine were bad and it would make a horrid noise going into right turns. Now with new bearings the noise is gone. Mind you I'm in an 01 GP GT Quote POTATO!
nitro229 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Posted July 14, 2010 Well idk, the noise just drives me crazy an it embarrisses me, sorry if I speled that wrong, like if someones in my car an I hear it whine it stresses me out haha, anyways I'm gonna get a new ps pump, there not to expensive. Quote
EricM9104 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Posted July 15, 2010 It's a Ford... ALL Ford power steering pumps whine. Do not use brake fluid like I said before, that was a huge mis-type. Quote 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 110k miles | Stock 1996 GMC Yukon SLT 4dr 4wd | 260k miles | JVC Head-unit
