Condition
Some customers may comment on a frayed serpentine belt and/or a belt squeal.
Cause
The cause of this condition may be that some power steering pump brackets are not properly positioning the power steering pump pulley. A
misalignment occurs between the power steering pump pulley and the generator pulley.
Correction
Adjust the position of the power steering pump bracket and replace the serpentine belt using the procedure and part number listed below.
1.
Remove the serpentine belt.
1.1.
Use a wrench and rotate the belt tensioner clockwise.
1.2.
With pressure applied to the wrench and tension relieved from the belt, remove the belt.
2.
Remove the 3 bolts and the power steering pump from the power steering pump bracket. Move the power steering pump away from the power
steering pump bracket.
3.
Remove the bolt and the generator from the power steering pump bracket. Move the generator away from the power steering pump bracket.
4.
Loosen the 3 bolts attaching the power steering pump bracket to the engine block so they are only finger tight. This will hold the bracket in
position.
5.
Push the power steering pump bracket towards the back of the engine.
