baskervi 0 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 My daughter brought her Accord over today because it started making a loud noise a few days ago. It was a loud, high pitched metal-against-metal squeal. She's had a few problems with the power steering pump, so I initially thought that is what the problem was. I removed the serpentine belt, and the squeal went away. I replaced the power steering pump, and noticed three things right away: - the squeal was still there - the belt on the tensioner pulley was not centered - the belt seemed to wobble on the crankshaft pulley a lot. I'm thinking this may be because of the belt slopping around on the tensioner pulley. The noise really hurts my ears, and I can't tell exactly where it is coming from, but it could be the idler pulley. I've attached a picture of belt alignment. Is there something else I should check out, or do you think it's the tensioner pulley? Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
