Power steering pump 94 Astro

[xit]

I am pretty sure that the whine I hear is my PS pump going bad but when I turn the wheel left or right the noise will not increase and the noise is most noticeable under acceleration, does this sound like a pump?

thanks

Not to sound patronizing, but did you check the fluid level? Also, I believe you will also loose your power breaks when the pump gives up the ghost.

Yes, I did check the fluid 1st thing. Just would like to be sure before throwing money at it.
