Kill my power steering pump?

Would a rebuild kit fix a permanent whining? I would think the whining is coming from a shot bearing. Aren't the rebuild kits just all new seals or are there bearings too?
 
There are no rolling element bearings in the pump. The bearing material is more like a crankshaft bearing. The whining sound is cavitation.

Never updated this thread. Replaced pump with a rebuilt cardone unit. Noise was still there! Ended up being the cheap idler pulley bearing........ A stethoscope is in my future.
