Hi, my 2015 SRT Cherokee with 120,000KMs / 74K Mile has started belt squeaking, normally just after startup, mostly only when at tight steering lock and foot on the gas. I've had it into the Jeep service center and they have recommended replacing everything - Power steering pump unit, drive belt tensioner, v-belt, idle pulley, etc.
Does this seem like overkill? Anyone with familiarity on what normally causes belt squeaking related to steering want to give me an educated guess on what of those parts actually needs replacing? They did say there's some 'play' in the power steer unit. I find Jeep service centers think we're all made of money and are quite happy spending $6K a pop to solve a problem.
