Power Steering pump noisy and whining
02 WS6 with low miles, power steering pump was whining loud. Dealer replaced the fluid and it still whined. So they replaced the pump with a GM pump and now its even louder. It whines and growls all the time. They tried bleeding it on a lift but it didn't help.
They want me to drive it a bit and see if it gets any better before replacing the pump again. I'm not sure if they used a new gm pump or a rebuilt gm pump but I know its a gm unit.
any ideas thanks

I had a new power steering pump installed on my daily driver and it has a little whine to it. It's not too bad. I did a lot of internet searching and a lot of people are having the same problem. Since mine isn't that loud I didn't worry about it, but if it would have been on my Firehawk, I would be upset about it.
