I use Lubegard power steering additive.

Normally, I am very leery of snake oil claims, but Lubegard is outstanding. I use it in my truck and the wife's mommy van. I mostly wanted to stop the cold weather howl, but I notice it helps the PS system year around.
I just bought 2 more bottles as I am flushing the PS systems on both vehicles. I do this every 24 months.

My brother added it to his Ford Explorer to cure a whine and the noise stopped before the bottle was emptied into the PS reservoir.
