Hi

Have you had a cam belt recently as this sounds like an over tight belt.

Garages often don't retention the new belt.

Quite easy to check it.

Do you have a Focus or a Mondeo? You've posted in the Mondeo section.

Right, could be the steering rack/reservoir problem that affected the earlier MK4's....Can't remember the exact details but debris (I think from the rack) clogs up the filter in the power steering fluid reservoir and restricts circulation. Either try cleaning or replace the reservoir bottle, worse case scenario is steering rack replacement.
