my belts are screaming, i do not have a belt running to my ac compresser, so i know its not that belt or pully, that leaves power steering pilly etc, how can i tell which pully is bad its almost like a chirping sound that gets louder and fast when you accelrate, could this be the fan cluth water pump or alt, its sounds kinda like the power steering pully, any help this thing is driving me nuts,

 

If its the belt, throw some used motor oil on them!


DO NOT do that! Check all the belt(s) for like cracks and missing teeth. I would just replace them, they aren't too expensive, maybe $8-12 per. Also, they could just be loose.... If you think its not the belts, I don't know what to say..someone else will pipe in.

 

Well what have you done so far regarding this issue? Have you checked tension? adjusted them? maybe try and replace the belts first?

 

thanks for the help i will start with replaceing the belts, how much tension should i put them
