Default Konking Noise in Front end

Hello All,

Hopefully I can get this figured out today. I recently changed my lower steering shaft, Adjustable Track bar Ball Joint and Alternator. Now my steering wheel is not centered (turned to the left) and I get a Konking Knock Noise from the front of the car. It mostly happens when Im at a stop and if I turn my steering wheel slightly (right or left), the noise goes away. Could it be my Serpentine Belt?? Maybe it's too tight?? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure your power steering pump bolts are all tight from when you loosened and re tightened for the alternator service!

Thanks for the reply. Yep Bolts are all tight. The belt doesn't look loose either. Maybe it's too tight? I get a small belt squeel on start up when she's cold.
