Sounds like you may not have all of the air out of the system. one way you can bleed the system is to fill the resivoir start your vehicle and turn the wheel all the way to the right count to ten then the same to the left. shut off your vehicle and check fluid level. if it look realy foamy let it sit a wile. repeat and your problem should be solved.

My 2000 windstar is hard to turn i am not sure if is the **** or rack help?

It is full of fluid right? Squeeze the return line to the pump with a pair of pliers. If the pump wines when you do this the rack is the problem. If the pump doesn't wine, the pump is bad

This is most likely the power steering pump that you hear. Check the fluid level to be sure it is full. If the fluid is full then the pump is going out. Hope this helps. Good luck.

As mentioned check ps fluid. If it wines when turning and still no power then the pump is internally bad.. If the fluid is dissapearing fast then its a hose or most likely a leaking rack& pinion assembly..

Wine in power steering, I put in new fan belt, power steering pump, new rack

The wine will be there until the fluid bleeds out all the air.If it does not,then have the power steering pump replaced again,and be sure to flush the system with a good power steering flush.But the remanufatured pump is most likely the problem.The pump had a flaw that the rebuilder didn`t see.Do make sure the lines are not kinked anywhere.

Steering gear or pump.

Likely the pump is going away. Not a bad idea to replace the belt as well but the noise is likely from internal wear. Changing the fluid is a good head start to the pump replacement.
