my 92 da is making the loudest screeching coming from the belts/power steering pump area, the belts fine though, PS pulley too tight? bad bearings?, the screeching is so loud that when the hood is open its literally almost unbearable, any help is appreciated thankz

p.s. very embarrassing in public places, must put an end to this ha

 

make sure the power steering pump isnt slightly angled. if its straight check to see if to can freely spin the pump, it could be starting go.

 

My recommendation is to remove the belt to the power steering pump and start the car. Then remove the other 2 belts one by one for process of elimination. Keep us posted.

 

my car had the same problems a few weeks ago. i used the same process.

 

mine was the alternator belt
squeaky belts FTMFL!!!

thanks for all input, i removed all belts, they all were fine, pump aligned correctly, my cars still screaming bloody mary im guessing the its the pump but my PS is fine from what i can tell

 

??? play around with it, just remove only the PS pump belt, crank the car and see what you get... but yea noisy belts suck, i would just turn up the music louder, 145db of bass will mask that squealing nicely.

 

If all of your belts are off and you still hear a high pitch noise, then it's your timing belt tensioner.
If it's not so loud, then it could be the water pump.

 

You are not understanding.

Remove only the PS and then start the car. See if there is a noise to be herd. Then go on to do the next. After you take each belt off, start the car and listen for the noise.

This process will not hurt your car in any way since you are not leaving it like this. Just start the car long enough to see if the noise is still there.

I would be willing to bet that one of your belts is not tight enough. Such an easy fix, that it's not worth posting about IMO.
