I have a 3 in lift on my truck with 33'' tires. the lift came with truck when i bought it,I have the shocks, struts, and blocks intalled. The lift was pretty old so i inspected it and some of the bolts where loose, so i tightened them up. but when i turn the steering wheel it makes a whinnig noise. even though changed the power steering pump thinking that will solve the problem. It continued to make the same noise. I was thinking it might be the sterring box or something missing on my lift. I made an appointment with a lift kit specialist to have a look at it. but thats not until in a couple of weeks. I thinking I might have to buy a whole complete kit. But what might be the cause of the whinning noise.

The noise in the steering will be either a pump or rack/box problem or just a loose belt, if the pump has been changed look at the steering box, it will not be the lift kit.
