if its not your alternator is VERY likely its your power sterring.
i had the same problem
got a new power steering pump
no whine

[El_Cangri]

well when I got to the electro-mechanic he tested the Alt. and he found it in great shape he told me it may be the power steering pump.... where can I get one (on internet or other cheap place) and how much for parts and labor....

I know where I can get one but here at P.R car and parts r wayyyyyyy to over priced

Another possibility is the idler pulleys of which there are two I believe.

[El_Cangri]

i never heard of those..

There is one near the alternator and another on the belt tensioner.

It is a pulley and bearing.

You could check it by removing the serpentine belt and turning them to check for roughness in the bearings.

ohh ok

dude check you power steering pump and hoses...the same thing happened to my stang and there was a hose that was leekin all my p.s. fluid and i replaced the hose and that fixed the noise..it kinda sounds like a quiet supercharger which was cool but it sucked drivin it when the hose was bad!!lol

[El_Cangri]

lol yeah I can say a I have a procharger in maybe I will keep the whine...

j/k

[006leenstang00]

haha..yeah i was thinkin of just keepin it like that but it just got annoying so i fixed it!! word to the wise though...let your car sitt for a couple hrs to cool down b4 you do anything w/ the pump or hoses..it's hot ashell if u do it if your car was just runnin(obviously!!)

[El_Cangri]

how the hell do i work with the p.s pump sorry im stupid when it come to this part what di i have to disconnect and all..?

[006leenstang00]

well i didn't have to do anything w/ the pump but it's most likely not the pump and just the hose...they go faster than the pump...but you have to lay under you car on the drivers side and right b4 the firewall(around that area) you should see the p.s. pump and the hoses and check if they are leaking..it was a long time ago that i did it so i don't remeber much but thats basically the area!!

[El_Cangri]

nope its not leaking

[006leenstang00]

it tells you how to replace ur power steering pump bump even if u don't have to replace it u can find your hoses!lol

[006leenstang00]

i know i said to do it whenur car was cold but did u have the car running while u checked it? thats the only way it'll leak out b/c there's no pressure when the cars off!

[El_Cangri]

yeah everything is ok and I dont lose any liquid at all and just in case i've been with the car 2 months and it never needed to get more p.s liquid

[006leenstang00]

ok cool..well i don'tknow man...did you check ur belts? if you did and they're good then i'd just take it to a mechanic!

[El_Cangri]

I will check then

I think on this model you need to remove the power steering pump pulley in order to unbolt it from the bracket, which requires special tools.

[El_Cangri]

hey the whining noise is not from the pump or alt... idk the name of the pulley in english, is the one that comes from the motor in the middle... yesterday the whining noise also started to came from down the car (tranny) and my tranny is getting bad it sometimes does not wanna get to 5 or reverse (i'm manual)... So when the whine started could it always had been related with the tranny? whats the problem with my tranny, clutch? my car has 115k miles and its been a month since it needs an oil change and it needs the tranny liquid to be change (i think the guy i bougth it from never gave it one. he's the kind of guy that never gives maintance to cars)
