is it a loud screachin noise because that is the power steering belt. my car deos the same. its just loose because mechanics dont tighten it all the way or it could break the power steering pump and that cost a shit load of money

^ a properly tightened belt won't damage your pump. A slipping belt will however. I'd rec. tightening your belt. Also check to see if there is oil on the belt. It could be screeching from oil dripping onto it from your ps pump or something else.
