Why does the steering pump on 1995 mercury cougar still make noise when turning even after filling reservoir?

if reservoir was empty, the system need bleeding before noise will go away. if that doesnt work the pump was damaged already before you refilled with fluid, replace pump

What to do with power steering pump noise for a 1999 Grand Am?
If it is whining when turning, then air may be trapped in the lines. Sometimes filling the reservoir and turning the steering wheel back and forth will bleed the air out. Sometimes not. If bleeding the air out doesn't work then it may be a bad power steering pump. Check the pulley too.
Car groans when turning?
May be caused due to low/no fluid in the power steering reservoir.
Why does the steering wheel tighten up when turning right or left and also make noise on a 2001 Ford Windstar?
Might be due to low/no fluid level in the power steering reservoir.
What components of the steering column make noise when turning?
power steering pump is low in fluids or the pump itself is bad. replace power steering pump if fluids checks out ok. makes sure not to over fill reservoir
How do you unlock the steering wheel for a 1988 mercury grand marquis?

Why Squeaking Sound while turning the steering in Mercury Grand Marquis?

1994 Mercury Villager steering pops while turning right?
Sounds like a drive axle half shaft. Have it replaced. Not that expensive.
What would cause car to sqeak when going over bumps and tuning steering wheel?
Any bushing, if its worn or old enough, causes suspension squeaking at low speeds and when going over bumps. The typical cause of squeaking noises when turning the steering wheel is low power steering fluid. The power steering fluid reservoir should be checked and the fluid topped off if it is low. Fill your reservoir with manufacturer-specified fluid (or have your oil-change service station do it). With a very low fluid level, the whining sound will be accompanied by a difficulty in turning the wheel.
How does hydraulic steering work?
Firstly you need reservoir for hydraulic oil from there goes one line to inlet port of hydraulic pump (which is driven by a engine or electric motor) then the high pressure port from hydraulic pump goes to hydraulic steering orbitrol, which is connected by a shaft to a steering wheel and has usually 4 ports. One port is connected to a pressure port from hydraulic pump (high pressure). Second port is return line to a reservoir (lower pressure). The other two ports are lines that goes to a hydraulic steering cylinder (which delivers the turning force to steering wheels). Operation: When the hydraulic pump is running and has pressure on outlet port the hydraulic oil flows through hydraulic steering orbitrol and back to reservoir. And when you apply turns to a steering wheel the hydraulic steering orbitrol redirects specific amount of hydraulic pressure to a hydraulic steering cylinder and there you have a turning force. -_- max
How do you change power steering pump in Peugeot 306 TD year 96?
Release the drive belt tension and remove the drive belt from the pump. Clamp the reservoir hoses or empty reservoir and disconnect hoses from the reservoir. It may give better access if you remove the pulley from the pump. Unscrew the 4 bolts holding the pump to the bracket. Once refitted bleeding is done by turning the steering from lock to lock until no more bubbles in the reservoir, engine running to do this.
How do you remove air from a power steering line?
Generally they self bleed by starting the engine, turning the steering wheel from stop to stop then shut off engine and allow the bubbles to come to top of reservoir. Do this a few times and you should be good to go.
When turning left or right the car has a funny noise it is not squeaky or grinding?
Check the steering fluid reservoir - it will probably need topping up - MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT TYPE
