First check the level of ATF in the reservoir .... if the pump runs short of ATF it will cavitate and whine. You will also experience reduced power steering.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

If it is making a whining sort of sound then it is the fluid level. if that is the case then make sure you don't have a leak. :thumbup:
