    power steering pump about to die??

    As of now my power steering pump sounds like a pig about to go to the slaughter house it is loud. I can spray wd-40 or PB blaster on the shaft that goes to the pulley and it will stop squealing, I have pleanty of fluid and the belt is tight. Could the bearings have just taken a shit??

    here is a video of it not sure how to embed a video so here is the link

    hows the fluid? When i installed the power steering cooler, mine did the same thing while i was bleeding the system. When it was all done it stopped
    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.
