"Steering noise: If there is a squeak or squeal in the steering, especially when making a slow, tight turn, look for a label on the power steering reservoir that says PSF-V additive was added. If the noise is still there after additive was installed, the right-side end seal on the steering rack will have to be replaced. (1990-93)"

Would doing this help? Also does anyone know if there is a sensor that regulates idle when using the power steering?

hmm good piont. i noticed that my boot on the rack is leaking a bit so i guess that is it. the boot should run about $15-20 plus an alignament.
