When I turn the steering wheel I sometimes get a low whistle (a little
like the sound you get while washing windows).  Anybody ever get that
problem out there ?

Thanks

I sometimes hear a soft scraping sound - like something is rubbing on the
inside of the steering column - a wire or something. Does that sound like
what you're hearing?

Thank you for answering... it is not quite a scraping sound and it
usually starts after 10-15 minutes of driving.

Could be your power steering pump?

Not in my case. I've had the pump checked - it's OK, and I changed the PS
fluid at the proper interval.

Might be... I am not taking any chances as we are leaving on a trip
soon so I'm taking it to a Ford dealer tomorrow. I'll let you know...
