Default Help with 04 rack in a fox body

I just put an 04 rack in my 1990 5.0 and now whenever the wheel is turned there is an awful squealing noise and the engine stalls. It has a new pump and lines so I don't understand the issue.

I believe the issue is you put an '04 rack in a '90 Fox. I don't think they interchange, at least that's what Google is telling me.

Problem solved! The guy who put the rack in didn't properly bleed the system. A quick bleeding of the system and now the steering is perfect. So anyone who was wondering: yes an 04 rack will fit in a fox body with no modification other than new inner tie rods.
