After replacing the power steering pump for leaking fluid around the pulley shaft, serpentine belt issues have been popping up.
The belt has been replaced twice because of intermittent chirp/squeal.
The Squeal is now gone however the latest 2 symptoms are frustratingly intermittent,
1) The serpentine belt hopping at cold start until the engine warms.
2) The steering wheel having a slight sawing motion when coming out of a tight turn.
Bad PS pump or was something else stirred up during the original repair?
