i have a 99 ford mustang v6 and am now on my third power steering pump and all three shared the same whine as my original one, now i cant have 3 in a row bad power steering pumps can i? i have listened to it run and place it at the pump but it cant be 3 re manufactured pumps bad, can it? i need help the whine isn't all that bad when i'm not turning but its pretty embarrassing when it shrieks when i turn it. help!
EXTRA INFO:
i have a lifetime warranty on the pump, and the store i got it from cant sell new pumps.
its not the pulleys because i have checked and rechecked every pulley on the dang car.
and i didn't replace the water pump. its still original.
i have pinpointed the sound and i'm 99.9% sure its the power steering pump. i have been told it could be my rack and pinion but i dont see how that could ruin the pump. plus its immediate whining noise as soon as i start it. plus i just flushed it today before replacing the pump.
any other ideas?
