              listen to what he's saying here.... if you turn the wheel from lock to lock it goes away... if it was something crank/thurst bearing related, that would have no effect on the noise.... Tom is the belt loose, or does it feel tight? Just replace that, and get it tightened tomorrow, and see where that puts you.

                it makes a grinding noise at idle and goes away when you turn the wheel?

                      Well here is what i did this weekend to it....first of all i checked the actual fluid and its supposed to be dexron III auto tranny fluid....the fluid was brown, sooo that i changed that out...and i tightened the belt but its still squealing...next plan of action is to just spray some wd40 on the crank pulley and pray for the best.....if that doesnt work then i might start thinking bearing but im not going to get ahead of myself just yet...

                              You're power steering can make a squeel like noise when you turn it lock to lock if there is air in the system. It will almost sound like grinding/whinning noise. It will be full, and you can still turn it. You can turn the wheels lock to lock even with very low power steering fluid.

                              I bet I would be able to tell if you let me hear it.
