I just replaced my alternator and AC compressor. I put in an AC bypass pulley and now I think I got a power steering pump issue engine. While idling makes one heck of a noise almost like bearings are gone in something. I also replaced idler pulley so everything is new except the power steering pulley and pump. In the video is the car running then me turning wheel in both directions. Please help. Thank you

Your video really makes it out to be the power steering pump.

One last ditch effort to try to cast blame elsewhere would be to remove the serpentine belt and crank it up fifteen to thirty seconds. Still got the noise or not? (It has got to come off anyway)

I am going with a bad power steering pump!
