My 2000 Nissan Altima power steering pump was very noisy ,the pump was
changed for rebuilt and noise was gone 3 weeks later it started again
,but only when cold and it is not as noisy as before.
Power steering fluid is clean, all the line are in good shape and power
steering works o.k.
Should I warantie this pump and get another one or is there anything
else that may need some work or adjustment.

Did you flush out all the old fluid and contaminates before installing
the pump?

Yes I did using a return hose that goes to the reservoir and I did it
before and after changing the pump.I have used Penzoil Dexron 3 .
