Weird sound not sure if that’s the steering wheel bump?
did you follow the factory procedure for bleeding the air from the system?
The sound you describe sounds exactly like air is still in the PS system.

- Check the owner's manual for the correct power steering fluid.
- Raise the front wheels off the ground and support the vehicle.
- Fill the reservoir to the cold line with the correct power steering fluid.
- With the engine off, turn the steering wheel lock to lock several times (5 or 6 times).
- Check the reservoir and add fluid as needed.
- Start the engine and turn the steering wheel lock to lock several times (5 or 6 times).
- Check the reservoir again and add fluid if needed.
- Lower the front wheels to the ground.
- Check the fluid level, power assist, and operation for leaks and bubbles.

the only thing that I didn’t do off those steps is doing it with the engine off
I am gonna try to do what you guys recommended for the bleeding process once that rain storm passes. Also what’s weird today I started the car and I drove it and there was no sound then all the sudden like 5 mins later the whine sound started…. It’s so weird
but why sometimes when I drive no sound and then come all the sudden and soentiems as soon as I start the car then it happen. And it increase with the more speed I go? But if I am on park and turn the steering wheel no sound only when the car is moving
You can drive with the cap off and it will not spray/spill fluid. The noise is not in the reservoir, it is in the pump to rack cylinder.
so doc you think it’s getting air somewhere ? I mean I replaced the reservoir gasket too when I installed the new pump
I lifted the front tires off the ground and did the step/ 7 times ! Put it down drive it no sound, today this morning I went to the grocery store. A lot he way there no problem no sound. On the way back all the sudden it start to make whiny sound and it’s loud . Why all the sudden it Came! U mean there is no way there is air I bled that ****er 7 times!! Any ideas?
