Q:
This question relates to a 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo, LS. The car makes a whistling noise around the pump when starting cold. The steering is noisy also until the car warms up. Every thing I checked, such as hoses, fluid level in the reservoir, belt and pully are OK.1 answer

when the power steering is hard to turn and the pulley is loose do you have to change both the pulley and the pump?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Your power steering has a lot to do with the way your car handles. A sudden change in steering could be any/all of the following: low fluid, a broken belt (there is a belt that connects the engine's main drive pulley to the power steering, alternator, air conditioning, etc. pulleys) or the power steering pump went bad. Check the fluid and the belts to make sure they are ok. Note that loose belts are the same as broken belts. The belt must have the correct tension in it for it to work properly. However, I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem.Q:
