Whine at idle

[keastygtir]

Just put the car back on the road and its devloped a whine at idle that seems to go away at other engine speed, aslo my steering seems to be super heavy but I wasnt sure if it was that I wasnt used to it anymore. My first thoughts were PAS pump however the whine dosent seem to be worse when going from lock to lock as you would expect.

Any thoughts?

ok the whine does in fact change tone as you move the steering wheel

Belt to tight? hard belt etc?
spray WD40 beside the bearing when running?

check it has fluid and belt isnt too tight. Could also be alternator.
