Power Steering Issue's
Ok here's the scenerio. My power steering pump was squeeling like a pig and leaking from the front of the pump.
I just put a new pump on today and bled the system. This damn thing is still squeeling with the new pump. My car is a 87 GT by the way. Do all foxbody's have this issue? Why is it still squeeling with a brand new pump. Could the rack be going bad?

My new Napa pump came with a card that said to allow 500 miles for break-in. Drive it for awhile and see what happens.

BTW, you know what NAPA stands for right?

I figured Napa was a better choice than Autozone/Advanced... From the looks of the Napa pump its probably the same rebuilder though. All covered in 1/8" of horrible black paint.
I haven't fired mine yet, but when I do it will have lucas and synthetic in it. Lucas Oil always quiets down all but the worst of the FWD GM stuff. It even helped my OE pump out a bit until it got REALLY loud.

my pump is quiet.. got it from napa too.....are you sure it's the pump or maybe it's a tensioner pulley or smog pump or could be a glazed belt.. i'd try a new belt first.. seen that many times

No I just used regular power steering fluid. I am positive it is the pump squeeling. But I will try a new belt and drain all the fluid out and try synthetic fluid.
