Recently began noticing a significant whine/hum when driving or idling that was worse with turning the wheels. Mech agreed it was power steering pump. Not an immediate hazard, but embarrassing noise-much worse than wd normally be expected. Replaced steering pump and idler pulley. Did not help-maybe worse. Discovered was a rebuilt pump and told did not sell new pumps. Could it be a defective replacement? Too much to spend to have not solved the problem!
