Power Steering Whine Noise has returned

So last year I had my 2010 in the dealership for a variety of problems. Car has about 90k miles at the time. (Not a great experience, before I found this forum!)

In short, one of the issues was that my power steering had a on again/off again whining noise. The dealership said that "The part was not available" but because it was not interfering with normal driving, to not worry about it. So that was April 2015.

It has not been happening since then, or maybe just occasionally, but now it seems to be pretty common. Does anyone have experience with this?

It seems to steer fine, it is just a whining kind of sound when I am turning say, out of a parking space.

I've never had a whine come from the power steering unit.
What part did the dealer say was unavailable?
