Some owners may comment on an accessory drive noise. Sometimes, this noise can be mis-diagnosed as alternator noise.
The power steering pump pulley may be misaligned with the end of the pump shaft.
In addition to normal service for the above condition, it is critical that the pulley is flush with the end of the power steering pump shaft. If it is not, reference the appropriate Service Manual for proper service instructions about using the J-25034-C Power Steering Pump Pulley Remover to reposition the pulley.
