Re: 2 Windstar Problems
Hi,
the squealing wheel sure sounds like a dragging brake. If it is a front brake I would consider changing the caliper, and brake pads and bleeding/flushing the brake line thoroughly. I have seen where the brake line itself (rubber portion) colapsed internally blocking fluid in the line keeping the brake applied. If a rear brake (assuming drum) I might suspect the fluid line again, then perhaps consider a stuck wheel cylinder and/or faulty automatic adjuster hardware. If a rear is dragging you will likely have to back off the adjuster just to remove the drum (using screwdriver and adjusting tool through the small opening on the back side of the brake assembly).
For your squealing power steering take a look at the other threads regarding changing/flushing your power steering fluid.
Good luck
