your power steering fluid could be low. I know fords make this noise very often and its a symptom of low fluid. check the level and get back to me.

RE: steering help.....

If it a gringing/whine from the power steering pump, check the fluid level. If low, fill it with Pentosin 11S only (not power steering fluid, or transmission fluid)) and look for the leak.
