[QUOTE="gtxracer, post: 1388674, member: 24143"] Sounds like the pump is on its way out. Ford uses ATF (yes, ATF) in their power steering systems. This is not good for the pump and steering hoses as the fluid will become hot and deteriorate. When this happens it separates and some "gunk" is left as a byproduct of that change. Basically, the ATF is BAD for your steering system and has to be changed often or you can swap to real PS fluid like someone else suggested. I put in a new pump and pressure line after my pump failed. I was doing some spirited tight track driving just messing around and the pump didn't like the sloshing. Toasted the pump and later the line developed a pinhole. Yours might do the same. Replace the pump and main pressure line ($400ish in parts) and buy real synthetic PS fluid like BMW or Amsoil (what I used). It will be night and day difference. [/QUOTE]
