Ford Electric Power Steering Screeching Sound

This is the sound that late model Ford electric power steering rack and pinions sometimes make when they go bad. If your Ford sounds like this and the sound is accompanied by your power steering being inoperative then you will most likely need to have the EPAS steering gear replaced. (Do have it properly diagnosed by a professional of corse.) I make no guarantee that if you hear this noise that the power steering rack is the cause.
