power steering pulley noise


Recommended Posts

My power steering pulley is making a really loud squeeking noise and want to know if I can change the pulley or is there a bearing assembly I can get with the pulley that will eliminate the noise caused by it beeing worn out, or do I have to buy a new power steering pump? I changed the drive belt, incase ppl are thinking thats the noise. Let me know guys thanks.

Remove the belt and inspect all of your pulleys for wobble. A failed pulley can do major damage to your engine and/or alternator.

My car is a 97, it has 95000km on it. The noise was definetely coming from the power steering pulley when i had the belt rear engine cover off, I could definetely tell, so will replacing just the pulley fix this problem? I'm going to remove the belt this weekend, and check it all out and see what info I can find about this problem. Any other insight guys?

If you are sure it is only the power steering ( I still suggest that do you what said) then you likely have a bad power steering pump bearing. That means a new pump.

Ok, thanks. How hard is it to change the pump? Anybody able to tell me their experience in that? Or is it pretty straight forward? Is there a bleeder valve on the pump to get the air out after? Let me know guys, thanks.
