I have done everything I can think of to resolve this power steering screeching/squeeling problem. I cleaned and roughed up the pullies, deglazed the belt but the noise continues. I sprayed the belt with water while the engine was running which did not effect the noise. I tried loosening and tightening the belt. The noise is almost like a grinding sound. I am starting to wonder whether the noise could be coming from the pump bearing or something else inside the pump. Has anyone else experienced a screeching or squeeling power steering pump? Any suggestions on how to diagnose the problem as coming from the pump before I spend a bunch of money on a pump rebuild (which may or may not solve the problem)? This is an original Eaton Pump.
