Power steering belt on 1991 toyota camry

You need to check your timing marks you are off the mark tooth or so

No, it is not unfortunately. This may be an indication of impending total failure, and you can't really handle the car well in traffic.

If the reservoir fluid level is OK, then the next thing to check is that the drive belt is tight enough to drive the steering pump.

If that appears OK then either you have a fault inside the pump or steering rack valve, or there is something binding in the steering knuckle ball joints, and that will need a specialist.

There is either a pulley that acts like a tensioner or the pump will pivot when loosened. Look for slots on the pump and pulley brackets. Loosen bolts, install new belt, tighten belt then bolts. As an additional note, there is likely something else wrong (that is why the belt came off).

For normal service, the belts should be changed every 30k (as per what Toyota recommends) the timing belt should be replaced every 92k (if required some are chain driven still). The different belts and everything like that you should replace belts that are frayed, torn, weak, cracked, or broken as needed.

Remove the timing belt and then you can access the water pump. Medium difficulty. Don't attempt if not sure about timing belt r&r.

There is no repair commonly to repair the rack and pinion. The only thing you can do is replace the unit and make sure it gets aligned properly afterward so it does not wear out either the outside or inside of the tires, cause the steering wheel to be off, or steering issues.

if the old belt is still on draw up a pic of how its in there and find the tensioner using a wrech loosin it up and put the new one on

no your p/s belt just takes is spun by the crank shaft. if its not making noise when you turn the key, then you should check the fuses under the dash and under the hood for ign one of those might be bad.

Their should be a diagram in the front of the engine compartment. Their will definitely be a diagram in the owners manual.

if the belt looks good and tight and the oil level on the pump is full replace the p/s pump
