Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I changed my serpentine belt, inspected the pulleys, and the power steering pulley makes this noise. Is this normal? https://youtu.be/OuKRNNbgsGc

POST 4Original post

I didn't know if the pulley has a bad bearing or is that just the sound the pump makes.

POST 5Original post

I see you're not getting many responses here. I'm no expert, but to me that does not sound normal nor does it sound like a bearing. Sounds like something external to the pump is hitting something when you rotate the pulley. Can you get an inspection mirror to see behind the pulley, or maybe even remove the pulley if that is not too hard? Based on that noise I'd be surprised if anything bad is going on inside the pump, but you should figure it out.

POST 6Original post

Talked to a mechanic and sounds like I'm ok. Thanks for your thoughts, appreciate it.
