Yep. Im flustered. I dont know what it could be. Everythings on right. The only thing i can think of is the pulley isn't pushed onto the pump enough? It looks like its lined up tho. I really dont know what to say. Its def. coming frmo the power steering pump. Its Squeaking sound Just like a bad belt or something. Its really loud. And Gets worse when you give it gas. Powersteering on the other hand works fine and all the airs out of the system.

So i was wrong. The noise is actually coming from the big black round *thing* thats right below the air intake tubing. Thats where the squeaking is coming from. I guess this means i need a new one?
Sounds like the bearing is shot.
You can get a GM one for around $130, PM me if you want a link. Very easy to replace.

Verdad Gallardo Thats because there is no stress on the bearing. With the belt on, it has tension, which causes the bearing to squeal while its spinning.
