I've recently noticed a low moaning sound coming from my steering column only when I turn the wheel. (This is on my '78 Ranger XLT.) Common sense tells me this is a warning sound. Anyone have experience with such issues on this model?
Most likely that is your power steering pump growling. For starters, check for a burn smell of the power steering fluid, as well as making sure it's full.
