Groaning Steering (sometimes) - After Timing Belt Change!?!? 700 1986

Hi Noel,

This is certainly a plausible explanation. I DID use the plumbers strap (lousy I know) approach as the Volvo Dealership in Peterborough Ontario had not even heard of the Crank Pully Holder (even with Part No.) and assured me that when they checked with the mechanics they don't have/use this tool?!?

I've had the belt changed before and I'm pretty sure they must have just used an impact wrench or held the flywheel, the local garage to me at that time would NOT have had that tool I'm sure.

So, I'll check the pully for slipping. I'm guessing this would give a 'groaning' which also could be felt in the steering wheel as a high frequency vibration?

Seems to happen with steering usage though (i.e. minor left/right makes it worse)?

Almost feels like a bad bearing when it happens.

One bitten, twice shy. Use the right tool and watch the warnings!!

Greg
