My '98 F150 with 47,000 miles has been making a straining noise on
turns. I've had 2 different shops look at it. Both say it's a
hydraulic noise but neither said there's any problem. Basicially, I
get the noise when the system is under some pressure such as a tight
turn.

Both shops said the pump and line pressure were fine.

Truck starting making this noise a few months ago. Everything else
checks out fine.

Any one else have this problem?

Thanks
Mark

If it only  does it on tight turns, as you say, then you are most likely
trying to turn it farther than it can go and overloading the ps pump. Just
ease off a hair on the steering wheel. You'll still turn just as sharp, with
a lot less stress and strain on your ps pump and belt.
