Hi there i have just bought my first subaru and i am loving it its a 1998 impreza wrx jdm import. Had a couple of minor problems there all sorted now my new problem is a am getting a screeching noise which apears to be coming from the power steering pump. But after changing the pump and also changing the alternator and removing the aircon it has to be the bottom crank pully has any 1 suffered from this problem any advise would be much appreciated thanks

 

Does it make the noise more with the car in motion?

Seized bearing?

You cant hear it until the revs reach about 2500 and it continue to get worse the more revs are aplied i wondered if the bottom crank pulley has a bearing or not.thanks for the help

 

Turbo fan blades?

 

No its nothing on that side i dont think removed the alternator belt and the ac belt and the noise is still there but u can only hear it when the revs are higher so my guess is the crank pully bit just wondered if any 1 noes if it has a bearing or is total crank out

 

Could possibly be a cambelt tensioner pulley....
