Re: Bad power steering pump?

I don't think it's the crank pulley. I had it off when I did the water pump and timing belt and...everything else a couple weeks ago and it looked like it was in pretty good shape. Still, I'll take a look.

I also don't think it's the belt slipping, though it's possible. I replaced the belts when I did the aforementioned work, but they're cheap and I might not have tightened the belt enough. If anything, though, I think the belt is a little too tight. I could try some belt dressing briefly and see if that helps. That would tell me.

I've never lubricated a u-joint. What do I need to do? Just smear some grease in there? Are there grease fittings?

Thanks for the responses. I'll check each one.
