Hey everyone,
Yesterday, i changed my alternator, when moving the powersteering pump, i only removed the bajo bolt and swung the pump out of the way. When i went beck together, i topped off the fluid, turned the wheel lock to lock 15 times, started and turned again another 10 times.

Never whined before i removed it, now it does. Cant hear it from outside unless i go to lock, but man its giving me a fit from inside.

Fluid level is still full, tried the bl÷ding process three more times, but to no avail... the first two times, air did come out, but not anymore. Am i doing something wrong?

when you turned it from lock to lock after/during bleeding did you do so with the wheels up in the air.

thus taking load off the system? That might help

I have never done this but I've heard people doing it - with the engine OFF run the wheel back and forth 2 times lock to lock (again with wheels in the air) and see if it makes any noise.

Otherwise I've got nothing other than change your fluid out entirely. which is alot of work.

Yeah, wheels were in the air simply because i didnt want flat spots.
