My power steering pump squeeks like a mother****er. Is this a sign that its going bad? Steering feels the same not any harder or easier. I checked the fluid and its filled.

Yep. Sounds like it is time for a new one.

Very common problem on Fords. If you know of a shop that can do a p/s flush, that usually does the trick. I did it to my car and it solved the problem.

Good luck

Check your belt and tension...Too loose of a belt will cause it to squeak

I have replaced the pump on mine several times, and each time there was always some degree of noise from the pump.

The best result I have had yet, has been with the use of Redline ATF, instead of ps fluid. It still makes a little noise, but now I can't (usually) hear it over the motor.
