The car is a 1995 9k Aero 5spd. I've had what sounds like a squeaky pulley bearing coming from the passenger fender area for a good little while now. I changed both the tensioner and idler pulleys with no fix. Then listened for a good while with an intercooler pipe(only thing handy at the time) and traced the sound to the power steering pump. The sound is often not there in the morning(cold start) and will get louder as the car warms up. I drove it on a 6 hour trip and afterward it was as loud as it had ever been. Next morning, not a peep. It continues everyday to show up but everything seems ok. My question is, how long could I go before replacing the pump? I don't intend to drive till it fails, just would like to know what kind of time frame I'm looking at. Opinions welcome. Thanks in advance!
