power steering again

sorry for posting this again, I had a previous post asking why my power steering may still be making noise after replacement. well I checked a few things and everything seems to be ok... so it must be that the remanned parts are just noisey as hell. I want to warranty them out, but I'm not sure what makes the noise. Would be it the pump or the rack? You know, the noise when you turn the steering wheel to the left or right and its a suddle whine.



And yes, for those of you who have noticed, I can't stand the noises my car makes... and it makes many.

Have a helper turn the wheel lock to lock while you are listening under the hood for where the noise is coming from..This might help in identifying where it is coming from......

It is most likely the pump. Fords are notorious for power steering pump whine. I know this is a Nissan, but hydraulic pump whine is common.
