Remove the airbag/horn button. Unscrew that big nut in there. Attach a steering wheel puller to the wheel, mark the wheel's position, and crank the wheel off the stem. DO NOT disturb the steering until the wheel is back on, and be careful to align the wheel the same way going on as it was in when it came off.
It's really pretty easy to remove, but it DOES take that puller. The pullers are cheap.
SOURCE: I get a squeaking noise when i turn the steering
I have a 2002 Escape V6. I had a squeak when turning... even when standing still. It was fairly low mileage: 40,000 miles?
It was the outer tie rod. You could feel it squeak in your hand while someone else turned the steering wheel.
I disconnected the tie rod. I wasn't worn, just squeaky. I squirted a little WD40 inside the boot, and worked it in. Reassembled and squeak gone.
I bought a replacement tie rod, but never had to put it on. I'm now at 110,000 miles.
SOURCE: ABS & traction control just went out on 2008 Ford Escape.
Chances are it is a bad ABS sensor. Need to get scanned to know for sure and which one.
Not much i know but I hope that helps.
SOURCE: 2008 ford escape-- power steering
Just off the top of my head I would say that the fluid level is low and/or the pump is sucking air into the system and is dropping pressure pressure after a while.
Testimonial: "the power steering is electric in a 20089 Escape. No fluid./"
