Whiney noise from power steering

Works like new.  That is for 1965.  :D

When you call Roger Rode the first thing he will tell you to do is to change out the power steering fluid.  I think Roger likes the NAPA brand.  You should be good with Motorcraft Type F.  PS fluid has shown to be the cause of a lot of PS failures.  It was so bad that Cardone, the largest supplier of rebuilt pumps, had independent tests done to come up with a list of aftermarket fluids that met OE specs.

Thanks for your response, Roger was extremely helpful as we discussed my problem and as you noted he recommended changing out the fluid.  If this does not fix it I will definitely send the pump up to him.
Thanks again
Steve

DKutz:
what fluid did he recommend?  Mine is whining as well after a rebuild.  Not bad but enough to bug me.  I can try a flush...

So FORD suggested Type-F ATF in the 60's.

Wouldn't then ANY POWER STEERING FLUID BE INCORRECT?
