Hello:

I just recently installed new shocks/struts/springs, about 1000 miles ago to be exact. Now I am noticing a DEFINITE squeak when I turn my wheels, it's not all of the time, but ALOT of the time. I put new spring isolators with the springs so I don't think it's that. I'm fairly new at fixing up my stang so I'm not really sure what it could be. Any guesses? Thanks for any help.

BTW: Just hit 104k, power steering fluid is full. My 6 is an auto. Also installed a new bump stop if that makes a difference. Thank you very much.

Does it sound louder when you turn the wheels?

It does sound just like your power steering pump is going bad. They all do it eventually. It is one part that is constantly doing something.

Yes it does sound worse when I'm turning my wheels. Right more than left but I've heard it while turning both ways. Is there any way to check for a failing power steering pump other than removing? Thanks for the help.
