Help!!!

[lebgirl]

i have a 1984 Chrysler Lebaron and whenever i start it up, it whines. I
changed the battery for fear that the alternator would go out but it
still whines!! could it be a belt? too tight?
HELP!!!!

Check your power steering fluid, , , more pronounced when you turn the
wheel... fluid could be low... no? ... could have a shorted diode in the
alternator.

You changed the battery because your car was whining? What kind of reasoning
is that? As the other poster suggested, you should make sure you have enough
power steering fluid. If it's not that, it's probably a bearing, either in
an idler pully or the alternator. It's not an emergency just yet.
