Hi All,

I know. . . I have one problem after another. :D


OK, I did some research here. This is current symptom that I am having. I hear screeching sound when the car is cold. It sounds like my belt is slipping. It happens every other day since last week. Only when I am turning either direction at low speed from stop. Is my power pump going south? If so, how much time do I have left? How do I know for sure it's the pump? If the pump is bad, why it's making that noise?


Here is what I have done or know so far.

1. all new v belts and they are tensioned correctly.
2. my accessory bushings are good and all alignments are true.
3. harmonic balancer is good.
4. just replaced power steering fluid with Mobil1 synthetic trans fluid using a turkey baster method, it wasn't too dirty. I am hoping to get rid of that sound.


Thank you as always.
