if a drive belt breaks, the debris can interfere with other engine components and do additional damage. rule of thumb belt life is 6yrs or 60000 miles. the belts operate critical engine systems ( alt, water pump, power steering pump) not something to short cut on. belts are noisey when cold due to additional load from battery use when starting or cold fuuids. have belts and tensioners checked for wear and correct operation
could be the power steering pump itself. If it has a bad bearing it will do that. Especially when you turn it makes the steering pump work a lot harder.
The power steering belt and the timing belt are two different belts and I doubt the timing belt is the squeeling belt if it only squeels when you make turns.From my experience if its squeeling only when you make turns chances are the problems going to be in the power steering pump itself.Get back to me and let me know thanks.
Have you checked the power steering fluid? Do the belts squeel when you turn the steering wheel?
I know this might sound silly but are your air pressures in your tyres correct? Low air pressure will cause your steering to shake at speed and it will be hard to turn at low speed.
I hope this helps,
Scott.
There is a very good chance the belt that drives the power steering pump,is slipping.When it slips,you loose the power steering effect and it makes it hard to turn.It will slip under load.i.e when turning.Check the fluid level and belt.Replace belt if need be.I think this will be the problem.The squeeling is the belt slipping.Hope this helps you
check the tension of the belt driving the power steering pump if not real tight it needs replaced turn wheel all way to left then to right listen for a squeeling noise if squeels then you need new power steering pump
this peice belongs to your power steering pulley its a plastic o\piece that over time brakes off you can either call your dealer and see if its covered by your warranty because its has to be replaced the pats that the plastic belongs on is top pulley you 'll notice powersteering wheel hard to steer and squeeling you must replace part or adjust it so its holding pulley tight itshas grooves in it 2 as a matter of fact if you keep using this pulley with broken plastic it could brake your belt
