The other question is my power steering pump is also making noise it need to be replaced soon! What do I have to change when changing the power steering pump?

It my first time doing this if you can give me more information, I would really appreciated Thanks!My belt tensioner is making noise.Do you have to change the belt tensioner or you could change the pulley?Yes you can replace the pulley without changing the tensioner.
