2004 mustang power steering
I am just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with a whining noise
that sounds like it is coming from the power steering? Took it to ford and they said all 2004 mustangs whine...do they? |

Not just the '04's. Most every Ford for the last several years has done
that. It has to do with the pump and although it's annoying it's not actually a problem so there is really no fix. Sometimes switching to a different fluid (synthetic) will help but is hardly worth the cost unless it's due for a change anyways. I would listen to a few different cars and see how yours compare, if it's substaintially more noisy it may be a problem but if not it's most likely normal.

I had whining in mine 94 power steering. I put a bottle of additive in, but
I can't remember which one and it stopped the noise and a small leak that I had. @charter.net (hlherron) |

good to go)!
SIDS victim, cleaned ½ cup cooking oil Carrots onions broccoli whole cabbage fresh green beans potato turnip celery tomato ½ stick butter 1 cup cooked pasta (macaroni, shells, etc.) Remove as much meat as possible, cube, and brown in hot oil. Add a little water, season, then add the carcass. Simmer for half an hour keeping the stock thick. Remove the carcass and add the vegetables slowly to the stock, so that it remains boiling the whole time. Cover the pot and simmer till vegetables are tender (2 hours approximately). Continue seasoning to taste. Before serving, add butter and pasta, serve piping with hot bread and butter. Offspring Rolls Similar to Vietnamese style fried rolls, they have lots of meat (of course this can consist of chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp). Who can resist this classic appetizer; or light lunch served with a fresh salad? Versatility is probably this recipe?s greatest virtue, as one can use the best part of a prime, rare, yearling, or the morticians occasional horror: a small miracle stopped short by a drunk driver, or the innocent victim of a drive-by shooting... 2 cups finely chopped very young human flesh 1 cup shredded cabbage 1 cup bean sprouts 5 sprigs green onion, finely chopped 5 cloves minced garlic 4-6 ounces bamboo shoots Sherry chicken broth oil for deep frying (1 gallon) Salt pepper soy & teriyaki minced ginger, etc. 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water 1 egg beaten Make the stuffing: Marinate the flesh in a mixture of soy and teriyaki sauces then stir fry in hot oil for till brown - about 1 minute, remove. Stir-fry the vegetables. Put the meat back into the wok and adjust the seasoning |

Yes, they whine. But how loud does it whine. If you turn the wheel all
the way and hold it against the lock it will burn the pump up. This is what causes the pumps to wear out and whine. c11r28 wrote: > I am just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with a whining noise > that sounds like it is coming from the power steering?

2004 GT Convertible - first titled in Seattle back in Aug 03.
Zero noise from steering system. They don't all do it. I've got about 12k miles on it now. The only problem I've had is that the clock spring in steering hub (part of airbag system) broke - it was improperly installed (misaligned) at factory and was replaced under warranty. So far the car is trouble free and a true joy. Also, it's got 4spd OD Automatic and I get about 21-23 on highway cruise 55-80 and 19 overall when I throw in 50% in-city commuting. SO glad didn't waste the money on the V6 to "save gas" - it really doesn't over time save that much. Brian in Seattle.
