loud squeeling

[tingo99]

alright i only have this problem when my car is completly warmed up and a squeel sound starts to happen sound like loose belts but its not the belts their tight i cant figure it out

[jujofields]

hmmm...but the squeal is definitely coming from the engine bay? And is it mainly when idling or all the time?

[lonewolf37]

If it happens when you are turning it could be your power steering. I had this problem and solved it with Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak. I was not leaking, but it stopped the squealing.

[tingo99]

yea its all the time at all rpm's and its not the power steering cause i thought it was that too. and its from the engine bay i hear it sounds more schirping or squeeling more clearly when im like 5 feet away from the car i really dont know

[blackbird99]

it could be the idler bearing thats dryed out.

[tingo99]

where is that on the engine?

[tingo99]

lol nevermind

[urstolendesire]

just had the exact same problem. turned out it was the belt tensioner on the a/c drive...which for some reason cost more than the one for the main belt???

[jamessr]

Yeah I'd check the belts and the idler pully for sure. I got tired of my squeeling so I changed all my pullies and bought 2 gator back belts. No more squeels. I'm sure one of the bearings were still good, but o'well. Problem solved.

[tingo99]

cool thanks im goin to do that tom. ill probably just regreace them or something cause their new belts

[99Ls1fever]

I am going to go with belts, probabley serpatine belt or a water pump leak onto the belts have stuff pressure tested...
