Power Steering Noise

[jlser]

Anyone experience power steering squeal in the LS only when it is cold, below 40 degrees outside? It goes away after the car has warm up a bit. I had it into the dealer and they flush and bled the system, but that did not take care of it. I'm taking it back in so they can look at it again, but I was wondering if anyone had had this problem and know what need to be done.

Not all LSes have the same PS system. We need details of your car, like the year, engine, options, etc.

Ford's p/s pumps are notoriously loud when cold. It is probably normal.....

Then again, the belt could be slipping. That would cause a squeal.

Yea, get it checked but even my moms f-250(2003) makes a noise when you turn it, its a wierd noise but something is rubbing and than there is sometimes a terrifying cracking sound but no evidence of anything if you look.
