My power steering pump whines like a B**ch. Heres a list of what i've replaced.

Power steering pump
Return line (from rack to cooler)
return line (from cooler to pump)
Fluid flush with new "no squeel" fluid added after.

Still whines, in fact its a little worse when I turn and give it power at the same time. HELP!
 
The whine is ALWAYS cause by lack of lubrication, so you might even have a block somewhere which is preventing the fluid from getting to the rack and pinion.

It might have air bubbles in the system, when you swap fluid out, you have to turn the wheel from lock to lock (all the way left, all the way right) about 10-20 times, then refill and repeat. This makes sure you get the fluid all the way through.
