worm gear is getting worn in the rack

install a new rack and pump, whine will go away

install a manual rack and loose some weight and gain some steering feel

New pump will only solve the problem for a few thousand miles. I can remember my parent's '89 GT doing that since about a half a year after we first purchased the car new off the lot.
