John,
As it's a 60 series, I'd say Athol's is right, might need new pulley on the P/S pump.
You can get stuff called CRC Belt Grip that does a good job to stop squeaking, or loose belts. Maybe put a new belt on before your trip, and keep the old one for a spare. They are a lot different to the other belts on that vehicle.....a much bigger section, something like a "B" section belt or bigger. Take note of Muz's advice, you might even be able to get slightly bigger section belt, to make up for any wear in the pulleys.
Probably back in early '90's, we had a wagon like yours, and travelling down the
New England H'way, on an
Easter Saturday, when there's a noise, and the steering locks up..........broken p/s belt. Went to
Tamworth Toyota dealer, but only one bloke there, 'n spare parts are closed. Tried elsewhere and no luck. :-(
Limped down the highway to
Singleton, then
Putty Road to Blue Mountains, all with this Arnstrong Steering. Built like Arnie Schwarzthingy by the time we got there. :--)
