Power Sterring Pump Noise - help
Hi all
What can cause a power steering pump on a 1987 V6 T-Bird to make the whining noise like it was low on fluid, even though the fluid level is good? The Rack and Pinion unit was changed prior to me buying the car. Thanks Brian

Ford powersteering pumps are notorious for buzzing. One simple but not always effective way to purge air is to start the engine and continuously turning the steering wheel from lock to lock.
