could be the idler pulley that keeps the belt tight on the P/S pump. Very common for the bearings to fail, especially when the belt is too tight. You can pinpoint the noise with a stethoscope- use a long screwdriver and touch it to the pulley bracket with the handle against your ear, and you'll hear it. Be extremely careful not to let the screwdriver hit the pulley or belt. Jim at Sobstory(site sponsor) 800 583-0370 has pulleys for a good price. When you put the new one in, don't over tighten belt and the pulley will last virtually forever.
Pump seldom fails but the bolts can loosen and cause vibration. Snug everything up.
