Was it only screaming when you turned the wheel? Or just screaming when you started the car?

If it's not the pump, might be a pulley or belt too loose or something....you have fluid in it right?

sounds like thebearings in the pump are bad, if it was 're-built' then they didnt put it back together correctly. from what you are say it sound like you have the same problem i had, just bite the bullet and have a trusted shop do th e re-build for you should be under 100 bucks or so...well thats what i paid and havent had single problem with it.

Something is too tight inside the pump probably. Yeah, bite the bullet.

This may be a stupid question, but did you bleed the system?
