What this repair is

Power-steering trouble announces itself as a whine, a groan on turns, heavy steering, or a red-brown puddle. Most repairs land on the pump or a pressure hose; the fluid is flushed with the job. The spread in prices reflects which part failed — a hose is the cheap end, a pump on a tight engine bay the expensive one.

Is your quote fair?

If your quote lands between $187 and $559, it's inside the range where half of all real Ford F-150 repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 2 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
