I've had some close calls, car came into my lane when it hit black ice (last winter) and I drove up and over a snow bank barely missing a pole to avoid it. Glad you're okay but it sounds like a binding issue to me. From what you just said about the steering box I'd check into that, but since you've already figured that.. good luck.

well i replaced the pump and it works AWESOME!!
here are some pics of the job, more in my gallery no more noise AND no more binding up. the pump i had in there was the original from 1989! next thing to do is replace the steering shaft from the rag joint to the column because the slip joint and the u-joint is trashed...give me about 2 weeks to save up the $130 so i can buy it from ford and ill post some pics of that proceedure.
the pics are from the middle of the installation because i forgot that i wanted to post some pics up on here.
the new pump in and all done
you need this (power steering pulley puller) to get the pulley off and back on.
