@blazzing4321 its the ford power steering pump. every single mid 80s ford ive seen running a stock ford pump makes the whine. even after a vacuum applied burp cycle. there is a 'HD' pump that you can get that's just a chevy saginaw pump with a ford bolt pattern, p# AAZ-20-7878/A-1 CARDONE 100-207878
This is EXACTLY what my 2003 MDX is doing. 2 of 3 mechanics said 'not a problem'... the dealer wants to replace the pump... I'm not sure who to listen to and scared to find out how much the pump costs.
@TheDanielle1220 I would probably go with that the pump needs to be replaced. I have had a mechanic tell me that it is the problem, but not to change it out yet because it wont be a problem, but i think otherwise =)
i dont know if you have fixed it yet, but my power steering pump made that EXACT same noise. and then it went out. just get it replaced and the sound will stop.
put some fluid in the resovoir and the sound will go away

isnt it the bearing whine, or that the belts too tight

@weaponexpert1 flush the PS lines and remove all air; failing that, get a new pump.

@janicesaysgiggity : put a manual steering rack and threw the pump in the scrap pile.
