Guest SwiftBuicks Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Once the engine heats up, I'm hearing a squeal that is serpentine belt related but not specific. I checked the belt and the wheels. Everything seems tight enough. I suspect it is one of the belt driven components i.e. the Power Steering or Alternator. The AC Compressor has been extracted and a free wheel installed where it was. When the engine runs cold, there is no abnormal sound. All comments will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlabree Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Check the idlers, you probably have a bad bearing in one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It's the pulley the belt goes around. It bolts onto the belt tensioner. They are available in The Reatta Store in the Cooling System category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks easy and cheap to replace so I'll do it. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
