Default Whining sound

If you are getting a whining sound when turning the wheel you could have air in the system or the bottle still needs more fluid. Check your fluid level again fill as needed and see if the whining doesn't stop after you drive it a bit. The air will work itself out.

If the whining persists even after you have driven it a while and it has the right level of fluid then you will most likely need to replace your power steering unit. The whining sound is usually the first indication you will get that you are running low of fluid again. Make sure your lower pivot bolt is tight you should not have been able to pry your unit if the lower pivot bolt was tight. Both upper and lower bolts need to be secure to keep tension on the belt over time.
