Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / October 2006weird sound coming from Windstar.
99 Windstar, when I turn the wheel and make a turn at a very slow speed (less then 5mph) the steering groans, at any other speed its fine, also when I reverse and turn it does not make the groaning sound.. any ideas? >99 Windstar, when I turn the wheel and make a turn at a very slow speed >(less then 5mph) the steering groans, at any other speed its fine, also when >I reverse and turn it does not make the groaning sound.. any ideas? Not enough information - but power steering pumps do wear out after lots of miles. Slow speed creeping and high turning effort is when you are asking the most from the pump, and the worn parts will groan. --<< Bruce >>-- >99 Windstar, when I turn the wheel and make a turn at a very slow speed >(less then 5mph) the steering groans, at any other speed its fine, also when >I reverse and turn it does not make the groaning sound.. any ideas? It sounds like when your power steering pump is under load it is making noise. Does it sound loudest when standing still? Do you see a normal fluid level? Just asking and guessing.... tom @ www.Consolidated-Loans.info >>99 Windstar, when I turn the wheel and make a turn at a very slow speed >>(less then 5mph) the steering groans, at any other speed its fine, also [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > tom @ www.Consolidated-Loans.info I had one ford that the power steering pumped growled slightly when it was "perfectly" full. After removing a small amount of fluid it would quiet down.  SignatureThey can have my command prompt when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. >>>99 Windstar, when I turn the wheel and make a turn at a very slow speed >>>(less then 5mph) the steering groans, at any other speed its fine, also [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >"perfectly" full.
