Everyone has the same problem. It seems to be a Mustangism that nothing can be done about.

I'm not convinced it's the PS pump. If you trace the noise using a mechanic's stethescope (or just a metal rod), there's a lot of noise coming from the alternator bearings. The vibration might just be migrating from the PS pump, though. If it is the pump, I wonder if some of that power steering pump condtioner would help? Probably not- it's not a lubricant- just a seal conditioner.

Are you sure it's the power steering pump?

I like that slight whining when im at high revs hauling ass, cuz it makes me feel like i hear a supercharger.

power steering whine

Well I'm sure it's not the power steering pump. cause i replaced it. it is quieter while i'm ideling but still makes noise, while i'm at high rpm's.
I'm in chicago. zincyellow.
I was thinking it might be the pulley bearing's but still not sure, I am seriously considering replacing the alternator also. I will find out what it is even if i have to replace alot of part. but it will take some time considering i'm working with a limited budget. lol
thnx to all of you that reply, and thanx for trying to help.

Could it be the belt slipping?
