changing the auxiliary belt

[Scottymk4]

I am getting a creaking noise when going from lock to lock and someone mentioned could be a worn aux belt...how hard is it to change this belt ?

Dead esay, buy a Haynes if you're a novice at cars.

[Scottymk4]

not a total novice but just never changed one of these before

Have you checked the power steering fluid? Never heard of a belt making a creak unless the pulleys shot

[Scottymk4]

yeah the fluid is fine, got the rack changed a couple of months ago too. I didn't think it would be the belt to be honest although it does lok a bit worn so will change anyway...what else could it be a the creak is there when the car is  moving or not.

strut mounts, ball joints, track rod ends.... rubber bushes in wishbone.....
