Making weird buzzing noise only in the morning.

OK so heres the thing, I just got my car back from a stupid accident that crushed my radiator front support my condenser, and the hood. so that went well. But when I got my car back, I only realized that in the mornings, when i start my car to warm up, and turn my wheel, there is this loud buzzing noise. This is only in the mornings. I check the fluid and its filled up to "MAX". Now I brought it back to the shop that did the repairs and shit, but they couldn't find the issue. His excuse was there is this filter and shit, and i don' t know nothing for a power steering filter.

Can someone help me out, and figure out what to do?

I assume you meant the PS fluid was at max? Were there any bubbles in the fluid?

Did they have to remove any PS hoses? If so, it's possible they lost or damaged the O-ring. There are several threads on PS noise caused by a bad O-ring. Do a search and you'll find several examples.

It's also possible your PS pump was damaged or a hole punched in a PS line or a PS line got crimped during the accident.
