brendanr279 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi, guys. My 1992 Legacy has started to get a continuous squeal upon start up. It goes away after a couple minutes by itself, but I am able most of the time to get it to stop by turning the steering wheel while the car is at rest. What's the deal? I assume it has something to do with the power steering?? It also gets a louder squeal when the RPMs go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The P/S belt has stretched a bit, and now is loose enough to slip. When it slips, it makes the squeal sound. Tighten the existing belt, or if the belt looks old cracked and worn out, then replace with a new belt. It is an ez do it your self job, if you are mechanically inclined. Job takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
