Power steering pulley squealing when turning the wheels stopped
 

Hey guys,

I found this video on youtube, basically I have the same problem on my Subaru Wrx Sti v3.
It only happens when turning the wheels with the car stationary.


Power steering fluid is on level.

Does anyone what's causing this? Loose belt? Have to replace the pulley?

Thanks.

I have the same problem.
Think i need a new Aux belt to sort, looks to be an easy change too!

I tried some Belt slip spray but it only solved the problem for a day or so before the squeel came back.

Have you managed to get yours looked at yet.

Not yet, I would like to know first if someone already fix it, so I can do it myself.

A friend told me that could be the power steering pump going bad.

But if you used the spray and it solved the problem for a day, maybe it's just the belt and not the pulley or the whole pump.

Check the belt tension, it needs to be tighter than you might think.

Thanks for the tip Paben, that worked. Its wasn't tight enough like you said.
No noise at all :thumb:

It's almost always the simple things.
