Screech on startup in the Power Steering Pump

For me it was the Harmonic Balancer.

Just a follow up, during my rebuild for my tranny, I had the shop replace the harmonic balancer. The shop owner was a bit skeptical as he's never heard of the HB causing any noise issues before. Turns out he was wrong. The rubber ring was cracked and slipping at start up especially when cold. Before narrowing it down to that piece, I had the tensioner, belt, starter replaced. So far, no more noise at start-ups even in cold mornings/evenings. Thanks to those who helped narrow the issue down to this piece.
