Whines louder than the 'bad' OEM pump it replaced

Seems to work fine but the pump makes an awful whine that's louder than the Subaru PS OEM pump I've been through replaced her. For this reason I am not satisfied with the product and will never buy this brand again. I'll probably replace it with a Subaru OEM pump in a few months when the weather warms up again. Everything was done according to the service manual including priming the pump with liquid, filling the system and manually running the pump both ways within minutes. After the car started the steering wheel was turned lock to lock about 30-40 times to thoroughly distribute the fluid and yet the pump still makes a very loud groan/whistle when accelerating and turning.

Pros
  • Buy with confidence
Cons
  • Repair
