Default Help! My 07 power steering pump has the whine of death.

Driving in the rain tonight, TC off, playing spinny the tires and when I pulled into the store the pump is making the whine of death. Plenty of fluid belt seems ok, WTF? Anyone have this problem?

Were you doing donuts with the wheel cranked all the way to one side?

Yes, when you steer your wheel all the way to the stops, the power steering pump has to work so hard to keep it at the stops and that is why you get the whines.

Take it do the dealer and don't tell them you were doing donuts. I would think that is warranty stuff.
