Subject:Re: How to bleed power steering system?

The system is self bleeding.

Fill the tank, start the engine, then turn the steering wheel left and
right all the way to the stops. Do this several times. Refill the tank
if necessary, and repeat.

I have replaced several steering racks and never heard or heard of one
whining.. If you still hear the whine, you probably need a new power
steering pump.
