Tighten power steering belt 2002diamonte
Do you need to tighten the entire pump assembly (brackets and belt) or just tighten the steering box?
Assuming you have power steering, you may have a loose belt or the power steering system has a leak and the power steering fluid reservoir is low or empty.
The power steering belt has an adjustment pulley. To tighten the belt on a 1994 Acura Vigor loosen the adjustment pulley and pull it up higher than tighten it.
you may need more power steering fluid.
The power steering is a separate system to the engine. The power steering system consists of a pump, bolted to the engine. A steering box, bolted to the vehicals frame and two hoses carrying fluid back and forth between the two. There is no power steering hose "in" the engine.
Put it back on and tighten the bracket.
look in the instruction booklet
In the power steering box. It is on the left side of the engine under the engine cover. It has a steering wheel on it.
The hydraulic seals in your power steering will be eaten away by engine oil. Your power steering will start to leek and eventually, it will not work at all.
You can't. There is a spring loaded tensioner pully that maintains tightness on the belt at all times. Maybe it is weak or the belt is streched or oily and slipping. You may also have low or burnt fluid in the power steering reservoir. There is a possibility of dry joints in the steering section causing resistance to movement and a heavier load on the pump.
To tighten the power steering belt on a 1999 Toyota Tercel, first, locate the power steering pump and its mounting bolts. Loosen the adjustment bolt and the pivot bolt on the pump to allow for movement. Then, pull the pump towards the engine to increase tension on the belt until it has about a half-inch of play when pressed down in the middle. Finally, retighten the mounting bolts to secure the pump in place.
