Re: Noise

Does it feel like the tires rubbing the surface their on? Check you power steering fluid level, it might be low. If it sounds like squealing your power steering pump belt might be too loose. These are my ideas but personally from experience I'm going with the latter.

Re: Noise

To adjust the belt your going to have to find the pulley that loosens and tightens that belt and adjust the pulley so the belt is tight but not tight enough to be a guitar string. If you can't find the pulley and don't have a repair manual for your car you can use autozone.com's online repair guide/manual, it's basically just an online version of a chilton book for your car or truck.

Re: Noise

I will look into autozone,i have the haynes manual but is confusing.Today i spray some belt dressing and sound got quieter,and it didnt make noise on turns,does that mean belt is loose or tight?By the way,thanks for your help catback23
