Is it in the steering wheel or the actual pump?

If you add friction additive to your fluid, it sometimes fixes this problem.

It fixed my steering wheel whine that I received after lowering my car.

 

[Geedy21]

It's coming from the pump.. But i don't know where to add it..

It's on the drivers side should have a steering wheel icon on the top of the lid..

Warning, it takes Mercon or Mercon V transmission fluid. Don't use power steering fluid. So says the manual. (The manual says Mercon, Ford issued a TSB saying the Mercon V is okay too.)
