Hey Eric. I have a 2009 Chevy Malibu 3.6 V6. 152,000 miles. I replaced the Power Steering pump a few months ago because the wheel was hard to turn while driving at slow speed while turning the wheel. I bled the air by turning wheel left & right many times with front wheels off the ground, but could not get whining to stop. Drove for a few months and then rented a vacuum pump to see if I could get the rest of the air out. Followed the instructions, but no better. My question is did I get a bad pump? Or is there still air in the system? or did I damage something by driving it without getting the air out? Any tips to get this fixed would be appreciated

Take the reservoir cap off and turn the wheel left and right then observe if there is movement on the fluid. If there is then your pump is fine. Did you put original fluid or different brand? If different brand does it meet the GM specification?
