Ah, the fine Windstar!! Have two of them myself. Just took one off the road and did the head gaskets on the other. Started her up and was the Power Steering was noisy. It had been sitting awhile, not quite a year and I don't remember it that noisy. Its not too bad straight driving but turning those wheels lets everyone know who you are! I'm going to find out for myself if the pump can be rebuilt or have to get another one.
not sure sound like it comes from front suspension
depends on where the grinding id coming from
AnswerIt is time for a professional inspection to avoid spending more $$.I had a similar situation with brakes on a Windstar. Diagnosed it myself to be brakes - did fronts, still grinding - did the rears and guess what - was still grinding! Turned out to be rotors that did not show anything wrong, but was still the cause.Save money, time & frustration - get a pro involved. (you can still do the repair yourself.)Answerwhich one did you replace Spent $700 more and replace them all OR take it to a mechanic to actually fix it
Could be a bad started bendix or problems with the flywheel, or just a loose started.
A bad transmission. The sound is from metal grinding on eachother.
The noise is the teeth on the flywheel grinding on the teeth of the starter. Check to see if the starter is loose, this is the most common cause of that noise.

Grinding
A grinding sound / feel is most typically due to something related to the brakes. In my 2001's case, it was the rotor - even after changing the pads, it was still grinding. 2 new rotors and it was *smooth* sailing, and braking. Sidebar: bad wheel bearings usually create a very noticeable humming - like someone who doesn't know the words to the song...

The "awful grinding sound" might be a problem with your power steering
I have a 1992 Chevy berretta 3.1 V6 and when it is in park and reverse and neutral it sounds like there is a grinding noise right below the shifter I know that the linkage needs adjusting any ideas
