Alternator belt/tensioner changed-now get a groaning noise?

Post by prawn »

Just changed the alternator belt and tensioner today, all went well but now there's a groaning noise when steering at low revs? notice it most when at standstill -
when the belt went the other day I had to drive for a few miles with no power steering etc. maybe this had an effect?... also everything is working fine (apart from the noise) but I'm sure the brakes feel a bit spongier and the power steering feels looser than before the belt/tensioner change...anybody know what's occurring? any help much appreciated ;)
