Re: pump

Does the whine get much worse when you turn the wheel all the way to either direction?

Re: pump

My power steering pump whines like that when a load is put on it at RPMs above idle (like accelerating from a stop, into a corner). It has been doing that for years. Converting to Valvoline Synthetic power steering fluid lessened the noise but did not totally eliminate it. I'm not going to worry about it until the noise gets uncomfortable or unbearable, or the pump stops working.

Re: pump

Make sure you got all the air out and your fluid level is accurate. Shouldn't be whining straight or turning. Check your belt also that it's not to tight.

Re: pump

You may have air in the line like stated before .Check to see if its full too. The hot and cold mark is basically car on car off, respectively. To bleed air out, with the car running, just keep the cap off and turn the wheel lock to lock like 4 or five times. Then re-check the fluid level.
