Default Very Noisy Power Steering

My Power Steering on my 91 GT is very noisy, I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to get rid of this. I've been told that all Ford stock Power Steering pumps where noisy like that back then. Is there a replacement one I could change it for?

Thanks,
Jo

Flush your power steering fluid and see if the noise goes away, if it don't then replace the pump. It will be quiet after that.

Well usually low fluid is what causes noisy ps pumps/ but like I said noisy pumps are caused by dirty / foamy old ps fluid or a bad ps pump.
