Power steering pump, Ford Ka
Discussion
It's usually not the pump.
If it's howling on full lock, it's short of fluid. The reason it's short of fluid is because the rack is shagged and leaking its brains out; it's a common fault which Ford have conveniently ignored for years. My daughter's Ka cost me a small fortune when this (and many other things) went titsup. Rubbish Kas (cars).

Say tutty bye to about £600 unless it's under warranty.

Indeed, often referred to as a Kak among mechanics I know. :heh:If it's howling on full lock, it's short of fluid.
