New GS400 owner - help with moaning noise..
I just received my 98 GS400 with 57k on it. The car drives nice and seems to run great but makes a moaning noise that can be heard in and out of the car with the engine running and gets louder as the RPM's go up in and out of gear...
I dont believe it's a belt because it's not a squeak, just wondering if it's a bearing or something. Almost sounds like a power steering moan but the fluid is fine.
Does it with the a/c on and off.

It's actually something from the engine compartment. It does it when the car is sitting still so that would rule out the hub.
My wife hasn't been in the car yet so rule that one out too...

Thanks for the tip on the idler pulley. I'll check that out... makes sense really...
Does anyone have a pic of the pulley in question so I could check to see if that is really it? The dealer said there are two pulleys?

I thought owner manual said use Drexon II or III ATF for power steering fluid. Someone double check for me.
