I have a 96 jeep grand cherokee limited. I replaced the belt 5x the tensioner 2x and the idler pulley 2x and still has this noise. Checked all the pulleys and no noise from them. A guy from the parts store told me it was the bearings in the alternetor but I checked and no noise and the volts are correct. The last time I put the new belt on which is a gates now the noise went away for bout a day or two but came back. Never goes away from cold to hot.

Check you porer steering fluid level. Get one of those hand trigger type squirty bottles with some water in it and selectively spray a little on where the belt goes, this will at least eliminate the bely drive as a prob. But check power steering first
