Im a single mom that couldn't afford firestone's $800 estimate to replace power steering pump and hoses . They were replaced and fluid refilled.... now, intermittantly, power steering cuts out. I asked auto zone and they say we don't need to "bleed it".. what can i do??? besides take it back to the mechanic... thanks

if steering pump was replaced then yes it definitely DOES need to have the fluid burped of air.
