is it possible to have a ps pump that doesent make noise?

I would think something was wrong if it DIDN'T make noise. Every Ford I've ever had with that style pump (and I've had a lot of them) has whined. Even replacement pumps.

mine is a lifetime warranty Autozone pump.No whining.I replaced the rack as well at the same time.I use a bottle of Lucas and top it off with ATF.

id give the lucas stuff a shot its one of the few things that works like they say it does

I have the same problem and the noise drives me crazy. I replaced my rack. pump and pressure hose. I used type f and the added Lucas ps additive. Still noisey. Then I switch the fluid out to Royal Purple ATF still noisey. I even bought another cap and drilled a hole in it so I could hook up my vacuum pump. I figured there was air in the system. I pumped it down and still no deal. My old pump was quiet. I changed it because it was leaking.

Neither my truck or my Stang makes any noise. I rebuilt the pump in the Stang when I had the engine out last winter. It was getting a bit noisy. There must 100 parts in those pumps. Lots of little tiny springs and other what-nots.

i put sythetic PS fluid in it. used an old turkey baster and sucked the pump dry and refilled it with the syn then started the car and turn the wheels lock to lock a few times, repeat to make sure you pull as much of the dino fluid out till no more whine.
wish i could do this with my wife.
