My 89SC power steering makes growling noise...I've owned this car for 10 years and it always made the same noise, very minor oil leak only,need to fill it up every couple of months..someone told me Ford power steering pumps are noisy,is that true? or is something wrong with my ps pump?
 
Some do tend to be noisy, but what exacerbates the noise is different fluids. Apparently Type F ATF is the only one to use. I put some Mobil One ATF in mine (had it around and needed some) and the pump got louder. Took that out and put Type F later and the pump went back to normal.
