Power Steering Noise
Can anyone tell me if this already has a thread or not?
I'm having some strange action in the turn where sometimes it "sticks" and also I sometimes get a loud whining sound for 10 seconds or so and I believe it's coming from the power steering but I could be wrong.
I know my ecoboost has an electronic power steering system but that's the extent of my knowledge on it. Does it have a pump anywhere in the system that could be making this whining noise?
124,+++ miles, no real issues, runs like a champ.

There is a thread on it ..... somewhere...if you can't find it here check over at F150.
IIRC, its not good.
Nothing serviceable, calls for steering rack replacement.
Is this a stock truck or have you added tires, heavy bumper ect?

Yeah, that's a bad thing.
Being out of warranty, I'd be looking at salvage or remanufactured, if available, though I'm not finding much at 3am

UPDATE - The sound is being caused by my brake system, not the power steering like I initially thought.
When the truck's running if I pump the brakes there is what sounds like a pump that kicks on every time.
Any suggestions on trouble shooting?

Have someone stand by the left front headlight (I think) and pump your brakes.
Maybe a member with an '11 will come by and tell us if you can hear it on start up.
'13 has a different pump.
