kewlkarim Here all week Premium join:2003-05-23 Houston, TX	[Help] power steering ? hey guys, i drive a 2002 Ford Mustang V6, automatic. recently it has been making a weird sound when i drive (i know sound diagnostic is the worse) anyway, as soon as i turn it on, there is this high pitched sound. the more gas i give it, the louder the sound is, it goes lower when the car goes slower i also noticed it makes a louder pitched sound when i turn right or left when the car is stopped. i know the 02 mustangs had a power steering problem, but if i'm not mistaken it was replaced not too long ago. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

sdgthy @optonline.net	reply to kewlkarim If it's just noise, could be a loose belt or low fluid issue. If you can't turn the wheel, or if it's harder to turn, when cold could be another issue.

The only remedy I know of is to get the steering flushed with every oil change. In the 98s and up to ? were horrible quality and whining and burned fluid is the result.
