So my car started to squeak and first it was the steering I would turn it to the left and it was like if I was rubbing on something then it started with both sides and the brake pedal squeaks everytime I press on it.
I resently changes the hydro brake booster and I thought it was that but isnt. Anyone ever had this issue on there new edge mustang And can tell me what it is.

My two guess's are power steering pump or something with the rack and pinion or there bushings But any how
Thanks in advance

sounds like a steering pump. but if you changed the booster there is a bleed procedure you have to do. if there is air in the steering fluid then that will cause the noise but most likeley needs a pump and fresh fluid

Yeah I'm going to replace the r&p bushings and if it continues then probably buy a new pump. Because its not a every day thing it does it probably once a week maybe or if I'm lucky once every three weeks
