Power Steering Noise

Problem solved! Well for the moment at least....

I used a wire wheel and stripped all paint out of the ps pulley belt groove. Got most of the paint out of the other two with acetone.

I also put the no cog Dayton belt on. It is a 3/8 belt rather than a 13/32 so it sits a little lower in the pulleys.

Since I did two things at once, I am not sure which one or both fixed it, but there is no more squeal.

I will put the cog belt back on in a week or two to close the loop on my troubleshooting.

Does anyone know if you can run the Dayton electric motor type belt In an automotive application? It was the only no cog belt I could find. It was only $8, so it was worth that for an experiment even if I cant use it long term.

Thanks everyone for all the help! Hopefully I won’t hear belts squealing in my sleep anymore....
