Default Squeaking?

I took off the AC belt yesterday and ever since I have noticed a squeaking coming from the Power Steering Pump. I took a good look at it and noticed it was a little crooked and the belt was rubbing. Anyone know any good ways to make this noise stop or to even straighten the pump. Thankss

The noise will stop if you can adjust the brackets to straighten out the PS pump. There are a few mounting locations to the block. Pick one that looks like it'll change things if shimmed, and shim it with a washer or two until the pump is straight.

I just had this same problem, let me save you some time and check the bolt in the rear of the pump ( attaches to the Alt bracket) is tight and that the Bolt in the FRONT of the Pump (attaches to the bracket) is not only tight...but that you have one. (Mine was lost).
