Ford Ranger Steering Questions

Hey all,

My Ranger started to squeek in the last couple days. The noise is intermittent and only happens on turning the steering wheel. Any one with ideas, the ps fuid is topped up.

I have an 89 Ranger with very loose steering. Where do I begin searching for possible causes?

My power steering pump is constantly whining as if low on fluid,(which it's not). Truck steers fine and nothing seems wrong just wondering what it could be and how to eliminate the annoying whining.

I have an 99 2wd ranger, just replaced front rotors and pads. while test driving the truck I notice that the steering shudders momentarily when turning both ways while pushing the brake pedal. no shuddering with my foot of the brake.
Note: when I change the pads i did pushed the caliper pistons without loosening the bleeder screws, and just drained the excess brake fluid from the master cylinder.

Ford PS pumps have whined for many years. And you probably bought a rebuilt one. It will probably last for many years, whining away.

Have found many times that a "COMPLETE" fluid flush takes care of noisy pumps.
