The sound happens when the car has been run hard for a while and it�s hot out.

Use a stethoscope to confirm the PS to be the source of the noise.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I�m pretty convinced my power steering pump�s pulley bearing is going. Engine has a new intermittent metallic spinning chatter coming from that area and it�s a recently rebuilt engine that has a fresh belt and brand new idler rollers and a new tension roller installed as part of the build. The sound happens when the car has been run hard for a while and it�s hot out. Otherwise, the car is running perfectly. Attached a vid. Is a new OE pump the only way to go here or are the rebuilt ones a smart option? Thanks!

Yep, it�s fine and the car/bay is dry � no leaks from anywhere.

POST 4Original post

Use a stethoscope to confirm the PS to be the source of the noise. If confirmed, replace it with a factory unit. If you DIY, then a rebuilt unit can make sense.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the reply. So I think it�s the alternator pulley bearing now; sounds like it�s coming from there and car�s voltage has been pretty consistently at 12.5 while turned on, and today i had power loss/hesitant throttle between 2k-4k RPM. Car is a 2000, so e-gas, which is why i think the throttle loss is related.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
