Frightened mouse in the glovebox? Loose accessory belt? Blown harmonic balancer?

Usual culprit is the belt that drives the power steering pump, tighten it a little & see what happens. Yes, this belt needs to be really tight & prolly won't break, but even if it does, PS is not mission critical-no harm done.

EZ to find, it's the first belt you come to after you pop the hood, just to the right of the dipstick where you check the engine oil level. It's the belt on the top, lower one is alt. belt.
To adjust it, first you have to loosen it's mounting bolts, which are the 2 12mm bolts behind the pulley, might have to rotate the pulley a little to get your socket on the bolts.
Next, pry a large screwdriver between it & the engine mounting bracket & pry the pump towards the front of the car & hold it very tight as you tighten the mounting bolts. The belt has to be very tight to eliminate squeals.
Go ahead & take a very close look at all your belts & decide when they should be replaced with new ones, maybe today. While the PS belt is not mission critical, if the alt. belt breaks then you will only be able to run the car on your battery power, which should last 5-15 min.
