Shrieking noise diagnosis sounds horrid
I have a new (to me) 96 Cherokee which I'm trying to scare all the mechanical bugs off of. Rear diff bearings in progress, ps pump ready to install but need to address this nasty noise I get first. Sounds allot like an old fashioned power steering belt slipping but worse. It happens when I hit the accelerator pedal, but ONLY happens when the AC is on, it's way worse if I crank the steering over to a lock position but still it won't do it even with the steering locked if the AC is off, won't happen at all. Belt, have no idea when it was last changed but the top side is VERY shiny, suspiciously shiny in fact, but no cracks. Maybe I just need a new belt? Thank ya kindly for any opinions of the savvy sort, this is my first Cherokee in fact haven't had an American made car since... a 59 Cadillac Sedan Deville I had in about 1990
