alrighty....... so, i just put on new front N+W brakes. including new are new wheel bearings, ball joints, and a-arm bushings. the only thing i guess that is "old" is the calipers (which have new seals), the spindle, and the axle. now the weird thing is, when driving normal, the car drives as normal. but, after doing a really hard stop (brake test for example), the steering starts to kinda "hum" when you turn and accelerate at the same time. i dont know if this is because of the wheel bearings (they're brand new though! so i dont think its that) and im not sure if its the CV joint or something in the axle that i had to swap. what do bad cv joints sound like?

whats also weird though, is i can park the car and move around the steering wheel, and still hear the hum, as if the hum IS coming from the steering somewhere (maybe the steering rack or something?) i duno.

of course, u can turn off the car and let it cool down, and later it goes away.

any opinions?

sounds right, id check your fluid level, and find where its leaking before you burn out your pump.

yeah fords are really bad for that and it's caused from when your streering fluid is low.
