Squeeling Steering Options

[stud97023]

Hey everyone,
I read on another post about someone who had a similar problem but i dont believe he ever posted if and how he fixed it. So heres whats going on, When i start my carar and it is cold, as soon as i turn the wheel even a little bit it begins to squeek a lot!! and its pretty loud. But once it gets warm it stops. BUt whenever (despite the temp) i turn all the way to the left or the right it makes the same squeeling noise. Any ideas on what it is and how to fix it? Is it the pump? the belt? my fluid is full. Thanks for your help.

ITs the belt... You could try tightening it some more but dont over tighten cause it will put strain on the pump. Even if the belts look fine alot of times they still slip.

wow! yeah im also having the same problem but only when im in reverse and turning hard to the left or right but ill probably do some more ivestigating on this matter because for some reason i had beleived it to be the tire rods or one of my c v joints. by the way the mileage on my car is at 121,000 miles so be prepared for some costly repairs. already changed out my radiator,thermostats and egr valve $$$$$ its starting to breakdown im just trying to rag it out for as long as i dont have to worry about a car note
