Wine and dine
Misleading, more like whine and buy parts.
Developed a whine at idle, and certain throttle RPMS..
Also changes tone when i move the wheels left to right, points to the power steering pump. I also get a groan when im turning and hit a pot hole or a bump of any sort with some speed.
Seeing as the pumps pretty cheap, i just need to make sure these symptoms are signs of a failing pump.. maybe there's some additive? I flushed the fluid about 2 months ago with ATF type F and didn't have a whine then.
I also read that hydroboost can whine and sound like power steering? But would that change when i move the wheels?

Yes, both use the power steering pump for hydraulic power. If you leave the steering wheel still and pump the brakes...and the same sounds continue; I would look at your pump and not the gear box.

Pumping the brakes does not change the tone of the hum

Would this account for my hum at idle? Or are you talking about the groan i hear when hitting a bump while turning?

Says it meets and exceeds fords Mercon V
Could the fluid be the issues?

I truly do not know how sensitive it would be to fluids - I am generally skeptical of claims to "meet and exceed" though.

Just hope that it didn't do damage if it's the fluids fault, may just get a pump anyways being it's original

Actually I was referring to the bump thump kind of thing. Sorry for not being clearer.
