quick fix...tried searching for this but the info that I got was that the pump/rack are probably already ruined

, not so

jackup front
disconnect 2 12mm power steering lines that go into the rack (hard lines)
let it drain, turn wheel all the way left and right (fluind will squirt!)
fill resevior with ATF, let it drain, play with wheel
loosen belt, add more ATF, turn pump by hand

close/tighten everything, top off with ATF

My steering was loud, and barely felt powered @ low speed because I put power steering fluid

when I swapped the SR.... this fixed it 100%, no new parts
