Here are the items you'll need for this procedure: paper towels, gloves, power steering fluid, drain pan, jack and jack stands

Place some paper towels in and around your power steering reservoir, as this next job can get a little messy. Remove your cap. You'll want a flashlight to see into the reservoir. Fill it about halfway with ATF Plus Four or an equivalent automatic transmission fluid. With the power steering reservoir cap off, we're going to run our vehicle and move our steering wheel fully left and right a few times until the air bleeds out of the system. Check, fill, and repeat, as necessary.

Now, using your jack or a lift, lower the vehicle so part of the weight is on the tires. You don't want the full weight on the vehicle just yet because it's going to make this job a lot harder. Start your vehicle and run the wheel from the full lock left and right positions a couple of times. That whining noise you're hearing is the air in the power steering system. Your steering wheel may feel choppy and bouncy at first, but once it gets easier, we'll add a little fluid and do it again.

Add about half of the capacity of the reservoir. If you go too high, you'll have little fluid geysers coming out the reservoir. Again, that's why our paper towels are here, but any mess we can avoid is less mess we need to clean up later. You can hear now that the noise has gotten smoother and a little bit quieter, as well as the wheel getting easier to turn.

Once you've got most of the noise to go away, lower the complete weight of the vehicle back onto the tires and keep the process going. You can hear it's getting quieter each time. Once it gets to about that level, fill your reservoir, wipe up an excess power steering fluid, and test drive your vehicle. Any more noise you hear when driving the vehicle should go away after you've worked it through from driving around.
