Moaning noise coming from the power steering system. In march 08 I took my 1993 town and county mini van in and my mechanic replaced the steering rack. This seemed to work until the moaning sound started again in october 08. After keeping the van for four days my mechanic could not find anything wrong and did not hear the noise. I picked it up and it was quiet until march 09. At this time I brought it back and the power steering pump was replaced. After only one week I am again hearing the moan start. My vehicle had 47,000 miles on it when this problem occurred and now has 55,700 miles.

The power steering belt simply slipped off. I am lucky not to have been on the expressway. I pulled the car to a safe area, but strained my neck in the process. I have now learned that chrysler has updated this steering belt system with a product that bolts the belt to the front pulley acting as a guide rail. Which other cars have? I would like to find out if this is an official recall and this is why I'm communicating with you. I hope you can help me find out. This situation is very dangerous if not updated/fixed with the new guide rail parts. Thank you! Please e-mail me with whatever you can tell me! Dt
