Also when you replace the fluid make sure you are using the correct fluid a lot of people use ordinary ps fluid. Go to motorcraft website http://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com
type F is used in pre-96 vehicles power steering(use to call for Mercon but regular Mercon is discontinued. Years above 96 use the ps fluid listed in there ps fluid section. The systems will work with other fluids but will whine and foam up more.
