The problem is changing that belt. It involves removing the steering rack and disassembling it. Here is a cut away view of a similar rack.

The little rubbers are kinda a pain you can use a small screwdriver and work the rubbers through the holes you can add some Vaseline to them to prevent them from getting cut when working with them also they unscrew off but are a pain to screw back on also have to get them to the right height again for hood alignmentThanks to all for the sleuthing and pix.
I inspected my PS unit and found nothing loose.
Lotsa road debris sitting in the pan and normal surface oxidation on the aluminum. We don't use salt on the roads in WA.
I think I will replace the bolts as preventative maintenance.
I do have a question regarding the top side aprons and the elastomer hood (bonnet) snubbers - How do you feed them back through the holes when re-installing the aprons?
Thanks
I'd coat the bolts with a thick layer of anti seize compound.
Yes it's going to be a long weekend I will take lots of pictures just hope there is a part number on the belt to indicate who the supplier isThe problem is changing that belt. It involves removing the steering rack and disassembling it. Here is a cut away view of a similar rack.
