Power Steering Pump Belt Squeaking
Group,
When ever I turn one direction the belt on my P/S pump slips. I changed the belts and checked the fluid. Even though the belts were bad, the slip is still the same. And I went with the best Dayco belt they had. The harder/faster I turn the louder it is, but I have to have the radio off to hear it so its on a small scale. Also when I turn really fast it seems that it is starving for fluid. Is this common? Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks,

Mine just started doing this a few months back and I've been trying to figure out what the problem might be. Not sure if it matters but what direction are you turning when it slips? Mine seems to make the squeak when ever I make a tight left turn at slow speeds.

I put new belts on, the higher quality daycos. And I'm pretty sure it happens only when I turn left also, but its not just in tight turns. I could be turning right and bringing the wheels back to the left and it will squeak. How many miles are on ya'lls trucks? 90k on mine.
