Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI 2006 . Been chasing a belt issue for many seasons. I’ve replaced or had mechanic replace everything that touches the belt. Just had mechanic replace my power steering pump and pulley. Belt now squeals when power is added. My last item to replace is PS mount. Is this item readily available? Anyone know the part number?
Btw is there any chance my VP tensioner's are bad in one season ? Very frustrating.

Replace your mechanic

It's not the mount

If it's squealing when you turn the wheel, that's a loose belt. Go back to the tensioner

I’ve replaced belts and tensioners multiple times really no change. Port engine squeaks at start up but then runs good. Starboard squeaks at acceleration.. then it runs good. All parts a VP OEM

Agree with Scott its not the bracket. Look at the belt on both motors for numbers, are they the same number and what is the number(s)?

double check the belt width, most squealing is from the alt pully slipping on the belt. Belt width should be at or slightly above the pully V groove.
On my motor it turned out the pully was slightly over width and depth. too deep.pbelt would bottom out and the V section would just slip
With the belt tensioned correctly try to turn the alt and circ pump pullys.
