Default power steering bad

as of today i believe that my power steering pump is going bad. when i turn on my car it sounds like have a kenne bell supercharger under the hood the whine is pretty bad. It calms down after awhile until i turn the wheel from left to right when making turns. Maybe its something else i dont know that is why i am asking you guys.

ahh yes, the "ford power steering whine" usually the fluid is a little low or a return line is pinched, if all that is ok then you have been struck with the "whine". i have been around Fords my entire life and i have yet to see, touch, own, work on one, or see one going through the Walmart parking lot didnt have it to some degree. at least it is better than the "ball joint squeak" that could be heard 1/2 mile away that ford endured in the 80's.
