Please Help Diagnose
Just had power steering pump and high pressure power steering hose replaced again. No leaking, but sometimes hear a slight whinning from that location. Especially on startup and just turning the wheels? Could it be the belt, pulley, or pump itself?

air bubble in system
i had my power steering hose replaced last year and had the same thing happen, I took it back to the shop and they more carefully bled and filled the system and made sure no air bubble...sound went away. They did it for free of course since there's not supposed to be air bubbles right after you get it fixed!

CRS I wish I could help you out bro, but I'm puzzled myself! the only time I had that prob was when my PS hose was leaking...after that was fixed the whining and noised stopped, maybe its your pump??
