In my 88, the power steering is making some noise when I turn. There still is fluid in there, so what does it mean? Do I need a new pump? Also Can someone explain what the flaming river one does? Does the car still turn the same as stock? Thanks -Dave

ahhhh the famous ford whine of the power steering, usually a seal inside the pump went out!The flaming river will turn the same as stock or better if you get the higher ratio

Hey Dave, its Mark you know Jons buddy. Find somebody that sells Lucas products and get some P/S leak/conditioner works great on Fords P/S systems for noises. You will have to remove some fluid before you install it.And when are we going to see the other car up in Sac running mid 11s soon i hope. p/s Jons has some ET Streets 26/10.5s you can borrow.
