Default Power Steering Noise

I recently replaced the high pressure hose on the power steering pump (65 Mustang w/Eaton pump). Now I have a severe knock when I turn the steering wheel. Also, I am not sure if I am using the correct power steering fluid. My manual indicates an "F" type transmission fluid. While the dip stick indicates a type "A" fluid should be used.

Anyone have any experience here?

Thanks

Default RE: Power Steering Noise

check to see that the bottom of the hose isnt binding or rubbing up against the chassis, etc.

Any ATF should work in the pump. .

You may have air in the lines. To get it out, remove the p/s dipstick. With the engine running, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock at least 4 times. . Then install the dipstick and recheck the fluid level, add as needed. Hope this helps.
