What I am saying is... basically I baught a PS pump from autozone (remann) and when I installed it; it was very loud... I was told that this was normal for some type of break in period. It even said it on the directions that came with it. I was just wondering if there was any logic behind it

yes, there is, Ford pumps are known to be loud once rebuilt, and they got sick of people wanting to have one done correctly...so their break in takes 1 day longer than the warrenty

RE: Power steering pump installation

ok so i took a closer look and it seems to be leaking fluid past the pump near the rack, this is about where i take a step back and let a mechanic deal with it, i dislike scurrying around under my car when i dont have a lift...any ideas on how much this is going to run me
