Mark From Detroit Journeyman Posts: 29 From: Registered: Apr 2001	posted 08-03-2001 10:17 PM Does anyone have power steering noise problems with there 71-73 Mustangs? I have had my car for over 15 years and as far back as I can remember the power steering groans when you turn the wheel. I have rebuilt the gear box, replaced the gear box with reman, replaced the pump and lines several times and still have the noise. Mark IP: Logged

However my '73 doesn't make a sound, so go figure!! ------------------ Duane 71 Fastback (under resto) 73 Mach 1 89 LX 2.3 convertible M&M Member #730 IP: Logged

There must be something different that is causing this problem. The power steering presure hose does sit up alot higher then the pump and I wonder if this is traping air causing the noise. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Mark IP: Logged

The procedure is to jack the front off the ground and put the car on jack stands and run the car with someone behind the wheel. Have them turn the wheel all to one side and hold it while you bleed the pressure line. Repeat in the other direction. Good luck. I've tried this about 5 times and only got the noise to go away fully twice. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 M code 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 open '72 Mustang Sprint Coupe 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Lok '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip '97 Probe GTS 2.5L DOHC Ford.
