    Does anyone have this issue? If my car is in a parking lot and i go to turn while giving it gas, i get some good whine. I don't remember my car ever doing this. The pump was replaced about 2 years ago and i just took all the fluid out of the reservoir and put in new lucas fluid. Still there.

    Would a power steering fluid flush fix this? Or is this just how these GM pumps sound like on a grand prix?

    Mine does that only when it's low on fluid, and only like 2 or more oz low it makes noise, so I just top it off once a month. It's got 150,000 miles on it so I cant complain. There is a small leak somewhere I cant find it.
