Steering

I put a new pump in and it whines real bad. Is this ok? The power steering works but its really eratic, sometimes its easy sometimes its hard, sometimes it turns the wheel itself. What could be the problem?

Aaron, raise the front wheels off the ground and do a full post to post turn about twenty times. This should purge any air from the system. I believe that should do the trick.

Steering

if it still turns by itself, you may need to perform an exorcism
