Power steering problems
Application: 1997 Ford Ranger V6 4.0 4wd
(Can be applied to any other non-rack and pinion steering system)
Issues:
Lack of power steering
After a turn wheels not returning to center
Hard steering
Common related components to check:
Power steering pump ( check for low fluid )
Leaking power steering hoses
Alignment issues ( caster, camber, toe-in, toe-out )
Non-lubercated components ( ball joints, tie rod ends )
Steering gear box
A lot of times if you are having issues with your power steering probably just a lack of power steering fluid. One big way to tell is a loud whining or howling type noise coming from the pump. Then there is the case of a leaking power steering hose, which is usually the high pressure hose side that ends up needing replacing. Non-lubricated dry components can put extra wear on other parts including the power steering pump. If you are having other steering issues such as the steering not centering after a turn is most likely a problem with the alignment or the steering gear box. Whether your issue is when you make a left turn or right turn.

1993 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 Ford Ranger / Explorer - Bad Idler Pulley
The results from a bad idler pulley from my 1997 Ford Ranger V6 4.0L 4wd / 4x4. One day I went to go start my truck as normal and then all of a sudden I hear this loud squealing sound coming from the engine. So after a close look I realized it was the idler because of the metal shavings coming from the bearings being dry. After a while the pulley seized up and didn't turn at all. Which means the belt was just rubbing against it instead of turning freely. With my truck being 16 years old things like this is expected. The replacement cost of another idler pulley is around $20 - $30. But I went the easy route and just went to my local junk yard and pulled one for $2 bucks.
Signs of a bad Idler Pulley:
- Squealing noise / sound
- Belt breaks (due to pulley seizing up)
- If not the Idler Pulley, Check others.
