Re: whining noise

did you ever fix this. I am having a squeeling noise that gets worse when I hit the gas but it sounds like it is coming from the power steering area.

It's nasty looking I have replaced it before but it gets nasty again.

Acc drive belt. Probably needs changing anyway.

x2....mine was making a weird noise I couldn't pin down. It had a Gatorback belt on it that was on it when I bought it, and it looked fine, no cracks, but it seems to have a lot of play in. Swapped it out with a cheapie from Autozone and the car quieted down.

Re: whining noise

My car was whining like a little *****, I took off my belt cleaned it with fantastic and hot water. Dried it off, took brake cleaner to the pullies and the squeak is gone.

Re: whining noise

I'll try cleaning the belt but it has been doing it ever since I have had this engine (I bought it used), so it was doing it with a new belt. I also changed the the belt tensioner and nothing changed.

I changed the power steering pump last night, but I have not tried starting it yet. I should be able to work on it more tonight, I'll post back.

Re: whining noise

take off the belt and spin things individually

Re: whining noise

Yep, it's your alternator. You could just rebuild it.

Re: whining noise

But it's easier and more cost effective to replace it. Will only take a few minutes.

Plus most have a lifetime warranty.

Re: whining noise

We rebuild this stuff all the time and believe me they work just fine!

Re: whining noise

I know this is not my thread, but for the record I replaced my power steering pump with another used one and my whining went away.

Re: whining noise

I had put in 3.73 gears on my V6 camaro about 2 years ago. I had vehicle parked in garge for a year and now I am driving it. Started to hear whining noise from rear. I took it to shop and they advised rear end problem. Rear end oil was dark with metal shavings.
Tech advised barings or rears bad.
