Debris in the fluid. Power Steering fluid probably needs flushed to get all the metal filings out from the pumps that have already been replaced. Any time a pump goes out it will leave a little metal behind in the oil. i believe there is filters to put on after flushing to catch any that remains. You should be able to get the filter at any parts store. Also might want to check the rack and pinion.
Hello and thank you for asking me, the most common cause for this is a loose/slipping power steering belt so it should be inspected and adjusted or possibly replaced. This engine has two drive belts, one for the alternator and a/c and another one for the power steering, if one is worn or loose it's best to replace both belts. Let me kno wif you have any more questions or additional info.
It does if it has power steering. They came both ways. Power steering is pretty easy to tell if you have it or not. If you don't have it, you will need two hands for sure to park the car in a tight spot, the steering wheel is quite hard to turn compared to other cars with power steering.

quite often ford steering pumps make noise, but if it is hard to steer, the fluid is probably low. First check underneath to see if there is a puddle, if there is then find and fix the leak. next, start it and get it to normal op. temp., while idling, pull the pump plug/ dipstick, check the level, add fluid if necessary. Steer the wheels back and forth a time or two, then check the level again. Double check underneath, visually inspect for puddles/wet spots. does the problem change after these steps? Theres not likely any water in it, therefore freezing isn't likely. Hope this helps.
