96 XLT V8
I am having some knocking sounds coming from the front, if I tap the brakes, turn the wheel slightly to either left or right, accelerating, you name it, and the power steering wheel and the whole car for that matter seems to shutter somtimes when I back out of the driveway and when it has that problem, it will shake like a 15 richter scale earthquake on the freeway when I make ever so slight turns and the only way to make it stopp is to slow down alot. I drained and refilled the power steering pump with the proper fluid and it does it less often. Its a 96 XLT V8 2wd and has 130k on it. It also makes a quite loud whining sound (like bearing whine) at higher speeds on the freeway from the front right. I probably just need to take this thing to a front end shop and leave it with them for a few days, ha !?!?! :confused:
