Power steering noise but P.*. unit is full ??
Seems to make that annoying sound when a P.*. pump is low or going bad,seems to be when turing corners at low speed or taking off from dead stop.... :?
What else would cause this ?

Sometimes other pulleys can begin going bad and have the same type of noise. Bonne94ssei had a pulley that I would have sworn was a ps pump from the sound. A stethescope later...it was nailed down.

Yes, I had a VERY loud whiney idle, on the verge of squealing. Very evident from a long distance away. I though it was one of the idler pulleys. I checked my PS fluid to be sure, and it was actually low. I filled it up, and the sound was still there.
Removing both belts I could hear a couple idler pulleys were very noisy while turning them by hand. Changing just one of them took the noise away by 95%.

O.K. I did not even think of that,I still have a bad pully and my 2nd tensioner is weak as well so I will have to get them done when I get some cash again.. :?
Well at least I am done with payiong for graduations as I just did 2 in as many years and doing it solo ( yes the ex is a slouch ) is a wallet killer.
Thanks guys,not sure how I forgot to have them replaced..
