My power steering was never great when I bought my Focus with 60,000+, and had been getting worse for the last few months, so I had my mechanic look at it. He found little pieces of the impeller in the system. So he replaced the pump, and it works great now. But it does have more noise (slushing sound) when turning than my wife's ZX3. It didn't make that noise before, but there was always the grinding, so that may have been masking it a bit.
Has anyone else had to replace their pump?
[edit] I'm told the noise is normal with a new pump and should go away. Maybe a non-issue. We'll see.
