whiney power steering

My PS wines ALL the time. I have tried fresh fluid. What else can I do. It does it when it is hot, it does it when it is cold. It does it w/ fresh fluid, it does it w/ old! Joking aside. Please help. It is getting old fast. The pump and steering gear are only a year old when I replaced everything in the stearing system.

thanks

Just a blind guess, but is your PS belt to tight, or maybe to loose?

whiney power steering

After installing a new Kragen rebuilt power steering pump, I experienced whining. It was a bad pump. The next 2 replacement pumps also were whining. Drove me crazy. I just knew 3 pumps couldn't all be bad. Wrong. Got my money back and went to Pep Boys. Their pump has been in for 5 years without a sound.
