Squeal at Full Lock

Post by gte619n »

Hey all,

I've got a 1970 F100 with power steering. At full lock, both left and right, I get a serious squeal from the front end. I'm not sure if it's the steering box or the power steering pump or what. It really only manifests when I'm parking, so not a huge issue, but would love some tips for diagnosis.

Thanks!

That's just the way they were ,that's a pressure relief sound.
If it steers ok it's nothing to worry about , just don't turn it so far.
