After replacement of all belts, wp and a bunch of other stuff. The power steering pump seems to squeal on startup for about 5 seconds. I did move the pump out of the way for oil cooler replacement, but I never disconnected the lines or res.
What does this post mean?
Seriously, the whine can come from the power steering pump when it cavitates. Clean the reservoir screen or just replace the reservoir with a new one. They are cheap.
What does "cavitates" mean?
I also saw pump reseal kits, although that will seal the pump, it will not do anything for the squeal, correct?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

cavitation - "Cavitation is the formation of empty cavities in a liquid by high forces and the immediate implosion of them. (A liquid is a continuum and repairs itself if it is torn apart.) Cavitation occurs when a liquid is subjected to rapid changes of pressure causing the formation of cavities in the lower pressure regions of the liquid."
