The power steering pump makes a wheezing noise that starts after turning the steering wheel any bit to either direction. The noise is constant, so it makes no difference if the wheel is turned more off of the center position nor how far from the center it is.
The pump itself is misaligned in relation to the belt by about 1/10´´, but I think it can´t be the only reason. The 73 owner´s manual states that the fluid level should be 1 1/2-2`` below the top of the filler when cold, but the filler is not vertical, so I´m skeptical about the factory level being correct.
For those not knowing me enough yet, the patient is a 73 Imperial LeBaron with a 67 440.
Any food for thought is appreciated.
