Power steering pump noise
Just replaced power stering pump on 2002 Bonneville SSEI.
I have put about 200 miles on the new pump and it still whines.
Also replace idler pulley and the belt is making a chirping noise.
Will the power stering whine and belt noise eventually go away.

Moved to it'* own thread.
It'* not going to get any quieter on it'* own. Some pumps just make noise. I replaced the pump on my wifes Montana and it'* still loud. As for the squeak, that you should check on. A belt shouldn't make noise. Make sure it'* travel is correct and not sitting on a pulley funny.

My 2000 SSEi has a whine too. Just swapped the fluid out and bled out the system. and is still there. Not really worried, like Danthurs said some pumps are loud. Though I feel my SC could be whining. Ive never changed that nasty fluid!

Did you bleed the system after putting the new pump on? Did you use the right fluid? The squeaking belt will most likely need to be replaced.
