The PS pump is all right. There are 3 things that could make it noisy. They are:

1. Low fluid level
2. Bad pump
3. Air in the system

Purging PS System of Air

1. Raise the vehicle until the front tires are clear of the floor.
2. Add PS fluid to the reservoir until it is to the full mark.
3. Disconnect the igniton coil electrical connection.
4. Crank the engine for 30 seconds while cycling the steering wheel fully to
the left and right.
5. Do not hold steering wheel on stops.
6. check PS fluid level.
7. lower the vehcle
8. Connect the ignition coil electrical connector.
9. Check level and fill if needed.

If the above procedure doesn't work try this using a hand held vacuum device to purge air from the system.

1. Raise the vehicle until the tires are off the floor.
2. Remove the PS reservoir cap.
3. Tightly insert the rubber stopper of vacuum device
4. Start vehicle.
5. Apply vacuum 20 to 25 in. for a minimum of 3 minutes at idle.
6. Release the vacuum and remove device.
7. Check the PS fluid level and fill to full mark.
8. Reinstall the vacuum device to the reservoir.
9. Apply vacuum 20 to 25 in.
10. Cycle steering wheel fully to the left and right every 30 seconds for approximately 5 minutes.
11. Turn engine off.
12. Release vaccum and remove it from the reservoir.
13. Check PS fluid level and add if needed.
14. Start the engine
15. Cycle the steering wheel left and right every 30 seconds for 5 minutes.
16. Lower vehicle and check fluid level in reservoir.

Repeat air purging procedures if necessary.
I hope this helps you some. Later, Dave
