Well, that damn sqeak is like the bug that won't be squashed. It is terrible.

It sounds like it is coming from the PS pump. I may try getting a new serpentine belt and trying that. I also wonder if the bending of the PS lines has something to do with this?

Mine sounded like a bottle cap skiping along the concrete. It would make that sound instantly turning on and off.

Yes, that is the sound. Nice description! Have you fixed it yet?

I am getting new belt tonight, and also going to try and get the alternator lined up as perfect as I can. Going to grind down some washers at an angle and see how that does.
