SGT/SC#0471 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Ok so my belt is getting squeekier when cd and intermitently. Is it the idler bearing or belt, just a quick question, as I sure it has been figured out already. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_GT350 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Mine was the idler, the 100mm one between the power steering and the blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NordicShelby Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I just replaced my belt because it was getting chewed up. I have gone through 2 belts in 17,000 miles. One was chewed up at the track when a idler wheel blew up and this last belt had about 12,000 miles on it. I didn't hear any noise though so I would guess your noise is coming from the idler bearing.

SGT/SC#0471 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 No belt looks good. No major dust or anything unusual, just a squeek. Chirp. Will post back with result soon. Going to see if bearing house has belt as well will change if they do as if it's off...;@) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Mine was the pulley bearing as well. Only squeaked for 30 seconds after starting, but was still annoying enough that it needed fixing! Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachman Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I gave up and went to 10 rib also. Best move I ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
