wow all 5 mounts- was this diagnosed first or you randomly increase the parts dept profit?

Stop turning the wheels to full lock-especially at idle, thats bad for the pump and rack
Get the car moving and then turn the wheels- see if that helps
Hows the steering fluid level- ever been changed?

Your idle WILL change when you do that. The PS Pump puts a load on the motor and the ECU compensates slightly for it.

It raises the idle to keep the motor from stalling when you put load on it like this dude said^.

Also like above its not good for the rack and is DEFINITELY not good on the tires.
