Please help! i just replaced my power steering pump in my 97 integra RS and now it sounds like my rack or some other steering component is whining/squeaking when i turn the wheel more than a few degrees either way. it also makes the noise a little when braking and rolling over speed bumps slow. im thinking my new pump might be working too well for the older rack, over pressure causing the noise maybe. A friend said the steering rack could just need a lube job or something. Any help or insight is appreciated, thanks you all

Is the system bled properly air bubbles in the ps reservoir when running. If so let it sit adjust fluid level and start after like 10 min left it run for about 5 sec shut it back off and add fluid until lol is ok.

There are no lubrication points on the rack itself.

Your reverse noise needs more detail.

thanks for your advice, however, i just figured out the noise is coming from my tie rod end on the passenger side. should be an easy fix plus an alignment
