I noticed driving to work this morning that my power steering started to act funny. I had a little mud on the inside of the rim (not enough to violently shake) but I cleaned it off. Now my steering wheel is giving me some weird feedback? Whenever I hit a small bump it will shake / pulsate back and forth. Also the pump is making A LOT more noise than the usual ford pump whine. I popped the cap on the pump fluid and I saw a little group of surface bubbles to one side, probably normal but idk. Is there a common fix for this or is it just time for a new pump. It's a 99 Ranger 4x4 4.0 ohv.
 
I think I may be having the same problem, it almost feels like the wheel is going to fly off! Sounds like you have air in your system...probably what mine is too. If I get it solved i'll let you know the results. Hopefully tomorrow :\
