It sounds like your Power Steering fluid may be low. (you might have a leak) I'd check it and top it off if necessary. Keep an eye on it to see if it's leaking. If so, add some fluid with stop leak. I highly recommend Gold Eagle brand. It fixed a leak for me where nothing else would.

How can tell if a whine noise on a Pontiac grand prix is it the power steering pump?

If the power steering pump is making a whiny noise on a Pontiac Grand Prix, the way to tell if this noise is from the pump or another source is to turn the steering wheel. If it turns hard, the problem might be with the pump. If the belt quiets down after a drop or two of dish soap is placed on the belt, then it was just the belt causing the noise.

For a start. It has to do with the rear suspension in the struts. GM greased them for me but that did'nt last. They need to be replaced and that can be costly, so I just live with it.Hope this helps ....Ken
