I have a 22re that has a squeel coming from the front of the motor and its getting worse. I replaced the two idler pulleys hoping it was one of them but it made no difference. The old ones were shot but still didn't fix the issue.
I guess I'm going to take the alternator off and get the pulley replaced on it next.

Does a fan clutch squeel when going out? It usually does it between 3-4K rpms but is getting worse and theres more noise at idle now as well.

It sounds like its going to grenade soon so I'm driving my car till I get it figured out.

 

Its probably the water pump thats making the squeeling noise, when i got my 86 4Runner it made a very loud squeeling noise when started, we replaced the timming chain and water pump at the same time and that solved the problem. The squeeling was the water pump, not the timming chain.

 

Well crap I was hoping it was something easier.

 

Belts?
