PS Flush gone bad?

Just did the power steering flush. As I introduced the fresh Mobil 1 ATF right away... the discharge of old and new fluid gradually became aerated & foamy till I had used up three quarts of new Mobil 1. Never stopped being a foamy discharge throughout the procedure. Now I have NO power steering...and brake pedal chirps. Any ideas?

Air

if the tank is roughly full to the full mark, the air will disapate over time, mine was a little noisy/foamy for about 20 or 30 minutes afterwards, i just let it idle and it settled out.

Thanks onelionhumter. Yes, took about an hour of idling after flush for me to get my steering back and brake pedal to settle back to normal. Now I'm hoping the drone/whining goes away.

It is a 4qt system, but can get way with 3.
