Re: Power Steer Problem..............
there theoretically could be a restriction in the rack causing the pump to max out and make noise. Unfortunately ford power steering systems in the 80's and 90's suck and make noise.
Did you bleed the power steering? Turn it from lock to lock a few times with the car off preferably on a hill with the nose up (worked for me) and then start it and go lock to lock and see if the noise goes away. The best solution (although it requires special tools) is to use an adapter, pull a vacuum on the system for 5-15 minutes and usually the power steering will quiet down. Does the steering shudder when turning from lock to lock with the car on? That is a sign that there is air in the system.
