1G Need help. Power steering Belt Question

[daniel91talon]

So I got my car about a month ago and drives fine no lights nothing on. But makes a sound like my power steering Pully thing( thing with the belt on it) raddles constantly. But never did nothing but sqeak on cold starts But would stop when warmed. .(but always raddle)

But I was driving today and noticed the rattle got louder and went to pull over and my steering completely locked (didn't lose power steering felt like it couldn't steer). I had a del sole with no ps but this didn't feel like that. I had to cut the car off before I could turn it. But when steering locked I pushed the clutch in looked at the guages no over heating or nothing but was ideling around 500rpms.

So I push the car into a parking spot and let it cool off. Then after about 30mins opened my hood started it and looked at the belts to see if anything seemed ify and my power steering was locked!!!! Not turning. The belt going from powersteering to something else(some big Pully with the belt going from the alternator and crank and whatever) wasn't spinning but when did spin was just skidding over the power steering pulley making it start smoking and seeking really loud.


Also I'm pretty sure it's from the power steering but my other belt (alternator... Coming from the same pulley my power steering is connected to) was slowly spinning which would explain the low rpms. Someone please help it is my only car right now.

Why are you asking? It is very very reasonable that these guys screwed up. Get them to pay up. If they refuse take them to court? Dont think you can win? I know better.

Exactly make them fix it.
I'd cause a ruckus if I were you but don't go insane hah

I agree they should fix it as they messed it up. However, the op is not going do anything about it. I say this because he has ignored every piece advice that every one has given, and still chose to have Mr tire do the work. I mean no disrepect op but it seems you have no say so in the car or knowledge about the car. I hope everything works out for you, and you seriously start listening to the advice people give you.
