Pardon if this double-posts, it looks like my news provider is not propagating.
----------- To keep a long story short, somehow the set screw for the power steering pump* on my 940 (B230F) backed itself out and ran off. I've since locked a position by hand, but when I make sharp turns (i.e. parking lot) my dash goes nuts, and I have an awful belt squeal at low RPM... which, fun though it may be for pedestrians, does drive me nuts when I roll down the window.
I'm blessed to live in a city with scads of hardware stores but not many junkyards, at least for this vintage. Does anyone know what the size of the screw is so I can pick up/special order one? Is it the same size as the screw for the alternator? For obvious reasons I'm most concerned about length and shaft width. :)
Thanks in advance,

- Maybe not the power steering pump? It's below the alternator, and links to the outermost belt on the shaft.
