Power steering making noise
#1
#3
In all of my years of owning Fords, I have changed out more power steering pumps than anything else. Couple of tips:
1. Changing the fluid sometimes helps.
2. If you replace it, do not use a rebuilt. I've installed several that made the same noise.
3. The last option is to drive it untill it stops working. That could take years.
Good Luck.

I'm thinking that if it makes the aggavating sound only when you turn right, it might be caused by something other than the pump. The sound is probably coming from the pump, the normal sound is being aggravated and I think this aggravation might be from extra strain being caused by some binding somewhere in the the steering linkages.
Normally, the pump should sound the same no matter which direction you turn the wheel. If it makes a noise turning left, it makes the same noise turning right.
