New Power Steering Pump & Still Whine (Video)
, and reservoir from FCP Euro, and installed it yesterday. I replaced all of the pullies, tensioner, and belt as well.I drained the fluid out at the rack. Before I installed the power steering pulley, I manually cranked the pump with a little screwdriver in one of the bolt holes to bleed the system a little and get fluid to the pump before starting. I turned the wheel from lock to lock while on jack stands 20-30 times at least while avoiding lock for more than a second. After I didn't see any more bubbles I lowered the vehicle. The steering feels a lot better and when turning the wheel there is no more noise like before but I can't get rid of this freaking whine for the life of me I put a mechanics stethoscope on the alternator and ac compressor and didn't hear anything really from those prior to getting the steering pump. Any suggestions? I have no clue at this point. Here are two videos. One inside the vehicle with the door opened, and one of the engine revving. Is the new pump bad? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Video Inside with door open https://streamable.com/cgt2dw Video Engine Revving https://streamable.com/er1c6j

Just a little update. It appears the whining noise is almost gone now. Getting the rack to fully bleed is a major pain. Before putting the pulley on the PS Pump, make sure to spin by hand. I used a screwdriver in one of the bolt holes and hand-cranked to get fluid in the system. Also, turn the wheels to lock and then spin the pump again, and then you can put the pulley on, and start the bleed procedure again. Took a week for it to fully bleed for me.
