Re: Screeeeeming pump ...car is 99 so it is out of warranty right?
anyway the fluid was slightly burned so I changed it several times. The last time I added some honey oil stuff for power steering units that looks like STP.
The sqeeling ceased for a few months but, like Arnie in Terminator - ITS BACK!!!!!
I was going to replace the unit a while back but it was a $350 part at the dealer and the parts store was about $200 but not in stock....
...so I guess I will bite the bullet - right?

Re: Screeeeeming pump Hey Robert,
My PS pump has made noise since the day I bought it... Mine is pretty loud sometimes, but never screaming. I guess I know what I'm in store for! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Parts.com has it for less. All OEM new parts:
Steering, P/S Pump & Hoses, P/S Pump, 5.7L $181.94
That's where I bought my oil pump and gaskets. Quick delivery too!
