Hate to say it, but I've seen <heard> a lot of rebuilt Ford power steering pumps be just as noisy as the the pumps they replaced.

Aftermarket pumps seem to be very hit/miss on quality.

well,i tried the nose-up/engine-off/lock-to-lock thing......i want to think it helped a bit,but perhaps it's just me trying to convince myself that the pump is a little quieter now............hahahahahaha

and yes,the parts guy says that noise is a fairly common complaint with rebuilt p/s pumps......live and learn,right?turn up the stereo

drop the top

and save up some cash for a new pump

, at least you know you'll have the power steering working for awhile (hopefully).
