ABNORMAL WHINING NOISE FROM STG. OPUM FOR MAZDA 2013, IS IT NORMAL

A loud whining noise on acceleration in a 2010 Mazda Tribute could be a sign of a few different issues. Here are some potential causes:

1. Power steering pump: A whining noise can be an indication of a failing power steering pump. The noise may increase when the steering wheel is turned.
2. Alternator: If the whining noise increases with engine speed, the alternator may be failing. This is because the alternator is responsible for charging the battery and powering the car's electrical system.
3. Transmission: A whining noise during acceleration could also be a sign of transmission issues, such as low transmission fluid levels, worn bearings, or a damaged gear.
4. Differential: A whining noise that increases with speed could also be a sign of a failing differential. This is the part of the car that transfers power from the engine to the wheels.

It's important to have a professional mechanic diagnose and fix the issue to prevent further damage to your vehicle.

This Soubds Like An Ideler PULLEY, To Check REMOVE DRIVE BELT/S and SPIN ALL Pulleys to Locate the One that Has ANY ABNORMAL SOUND as they SHOULD NOT Make ANY NOISE AT ALL, The one that Does Requires Replacment.
