Fords are notorious power steering whiners.
Keep the reservoir full & keep driving it until it fianlly fails.

Are Chevy Engine Parts Interchangeable? LS1 to 5.3 or 4.8?

Is it squeeling or whining? A squeel will indicate a slipping power steering belt. If that's the case, tighten up the belt (however this is done on your particular vehicle,) and spray some belt dressing on it.

Should I trade in my 06 Auto RSX for a Type-S ?


If the pump is actually squeeling, and yet you have the fluid to the top it is either one of two things. Either there is air in the system, or the pump is dying. To get any air out of the system, with the car running, take the cap off the fluid resevoir and turn the steering wheel all the way left and all the way right several times, this will purge all the air out. If it's still squeeling, the pump is in trouble. You can either replace the pump, OR, you could drain some of the old power steering fluid out (either disconnect a line and let it run out, or syphon it out) and put in some really good power steering fluid. Get something along the lines of Lucas power steering stop leak/anit-squeek stuff. It's pretty good stuff, and REALLY thick.

fluid to full in the pump will some times blow out the seals in it.. The constant whining is natural, unless it has gotten louder, wich means it's getting ready to go bad

Where can i get a used 2000 Ford Focus engine?

Help maybe, check reservoir when running and turn wheel left and right have some one look into reservoir to see air bubbles or foaming, if you have that keep moving wheel far left and then right to purge air out. Also check your Ford manual to make sure you have the right Power steering fluid Motocraft Mercon xt-2-qdx this is just a sample of what to look for your Ford manual may have different numbers for your Power steering unit.. I ve always said don't put chevy , Dodge or any other fluids in your car they are all different and use your manufacturers fluids recommended by Ford. The above numbers I gave are for Escorts 1981 thru 1990, use the right one for your Windstar from your Windstar manual.
