My power steering has been squeaking when I crank the wheel left or right, although it occasionally squeaks just after I've started the car or when the steering is under a bit of a load.
The fluid is fine. My dad's suggestion was to check the belt tension, could this lead to it and would it be a valid reason? TiA! -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne

It's a real pain to tigten, I found there is a plate you can attach a large adjustable spanner to to get some leverage, unlike the alternator, where there is a bolt to tighten the belt.
There are two bolts on the pump (at least there are on UK models). The top bolt is the pivot bolt and can be reached through the top, however the bottom bolt (lock bolt) is a pain to get at, and it far easer to go under the car to find it. |
