Yo D,

Here are some possible perpetrators from Ford in a 96;


  • Noise in Steering Column Clunk


  • Steering column intermediate shaft coupling bottoming.


  • ALIGN or ADJUST as required.


 


  • Loose steering column intermediate shaft coupling to steering column bolt.


  • TIGHTEN to specification.


 


  • Improperly adjusted steering gear.





  • Power Steering or Accessory Belt Squealing


  • Check belt for proper tension or glazing. For C-II pump, the pump would be damaged due to excessive fluid temperatures of 149°C (300°F) or higher. Dark fluid with a burnt smell will confirm.


  • TIGHTEN or REPLACE belt as required. REFER to Section 03-05.For CII pump, REPLACE pump and PURGE old fluid. ADD Motorcraft MERCON ® ATF XT-2-QDX or MERCON® equivalent.


  • Pump Noisy


  • Low fluid level and possible leakage.


  • REFILL to specified level. PURGE air from system. CHECK for leaks. REPAIR as required. If noise persists, REPLACE pump.


  • Swish Type Noise


  • Fluid flow into the bypass valve of the pump valve housing with fluid temperature below 55°C (130°F).


  • Normal noise.


  • Whine Type Noise


  • Aerated fluid or cam contour damaged.
  • Worn or damaged valve O-ring seal.


  • PURGE system of air. If condition not resolved, REPLACE pump. GO to Pinpoint Test D .

Yo,

Ok, check wheel bearing.


  • Buzzing Noise in Front Axle in Two-Wheel Drive, Shortly After Four-Wheel Drive Usage


  • Right or left side hublock.


  • REPLACE hublocks as necessary.
