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

It's a Ford power steering system. Just turn up the radio.

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.
