34389, squeeking noise
Posted by 97GS AT, Oct-07-02 02:50 PM
every time when I turn the steering wheels all the way to the left or when I turn the AC on, I heard a loud squeeking noise, I know it is one of the belts, which one is that? can I tighten it by myself or I better get a shop to do it for me?

Could be your power steering pulley bearings. When my bearings where shot, it would make a squeeky sound when I turn the wheel. Do this, look at your power steering pulley, then have someone crank and start the car. If the pulley shakes, then chances are, it's your bearings. That's what mine did. Good luck!!!!

The power steering pulley is the one right on top in the front of the engine. It is directly above the PS Tensioner.

On a side note, I also have a similar problem except I get a squeal only at 2800rpm when I am accelerating/decelerating slowly. It only does it when it's moving(in any gear), not in gear with the clutch in. Anyone got any ideas? And BTW, both of my belts were just changed along with the tensioner, but it did it before the new belts.

my car made that noise when i turned the wheel all the way too when i first got it. i took it to a mechanic and my power steering belt was loose and they tightened it and it didn't make that noise for about a week then it started again and turned out i needed a new power steering belt all together.you might wanna check your power steering fluid too just in case
