2000 power steering
I have a 2000 Exploder xls 4.0l vin x. I had the power steering pump and the rack replaced (i did the pump myself also 3rd pump since the problem stays the same and there remans). Now when at a rpm 1500 or above the steering wines like the pump is bad, but at a low rpm 500-1000 you can hear a pin drop. anyone have a idea what this could be? also if you look at/in the reservoir turn the wheel and raise the rpm's, while turning the wheel it looks like there is a vibration since the fluid will splatter real fine drops of fluid untill rpms come back down, or when the wheel is returned to remove any pressure. the sound is like a combination of grinding and your normal steering wine when the pump is bad. i believe all air is out of system, i checked it multiple times and the fluid don't foam or show signs that it wants to

Welcome to the forum!
It sounds like there is still air in the system. Fortunately I have not had to fight this, but I've read of others here who have. You should search the forum for keywords "power steering". I seem to recall some filter that could be the issue as well, but I don't recall what years that was used on.

I thought my power steering pump was making noise
For years I thought it was the pump. Turned out to be the idler pully. I have '98 5 liter, so it might be different than yours. But it was at the bottom left,no tension spring. Sounds like a new motor now.
