1998 V70 AWD Power Steering Adjustment?

Post by **deepsouth** » 03 Apr 2014, 12:40

Hey all--
Have a 1998 V70 AWD 2.4 Turbo. Did a routine replacement of the coolant temp sensor (the one located just below the thermostat housing). Removed the upper power steering bolt to get a socket over the old sensor. When I put it back together the power steering pump is making a heck of a racket. Any ideas? Is that bolt some type of adjustment? Do I need to take off the serp belt to remove tension from the pump in order to put the bolt back on?
Thanks!
Eric

Can you circle them? I don't see anything in the pictures.

Update: I removed the tension by taking off the serp belt, took off both bolts holding on the back of the pump, and re-torqued them, put back on the belt, and no loud racket. Apparently, if you remove one of the bolts and don't relieve the tension from the serp belt when you go to put it back on it won't tighten down all the way and case the pump to make a heck of a noise. At least that's my best guess.
