Power Steering Pump Whining
I know its really common for our pumps to whine, however mine JUST started doing it. I first noticed it at 35+ mph in a straight line. Good sign its time to replace it?

sure. mine whines at idle all the way to 70mph.
no cavitation though and i've never had a burp in the steering so no issue IMO.
but if your getting cavitation or unresponsive steering then you might want to change it, or look into the e-van swap.
course you may have a bad bearing. which would be another reason to change out our pump
