Did you check your fluid level??

My pump makes noise when the fluid gets low, the reason the fluid is low is because the power steering rack is notorious for leaking, on ALL Toyotas.

My 93 LS has a new rack, same pump, works great

My 98 LS has a leaky rack, so I keep power steering fluid handy, when it starts groaning.

PS you don't see fluid on the ground under the rack because it likes to save it all in the boots at the end of the rack.

If your pump is bad you will see fluid leaking all out of it, and on the ground.
