Squeal at start up ?
Its definetly your motor belt. Any mechanic can do it quick if you dont think you can. BTW its super simple, there should be a belt diagram on the radiator support. All you do is loosen the tensioner and take the old one off. THen follow diagram to re-install the new one. Tighten tensioner when done. -- stangbuster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stangbuster's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=439207 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=529128 http://www.automotiveforums.com |

Squeal at start up ?
Have you had a little work done recently that involved removing the belts?
Your symptom (little squeal at startup, then quickly goes away) is consistent with a loose power steering belt or alternator belt, but could be other things. I would check the belts first. Quite possibly all that is necessary is to tighten one of them. www.autozone.com has a free online manual for your car that gives directions on guesstimating belt tension.

If so I would suspect the compressor clutch. LOOSEN not tighten the belt and see if it helps. |

quick is fix is spray a tiny amount of wd-40 type lube on belt.....it
is not recommended but it works. When I say it is not recommending, I used to work in an auto shop....we wouldnt do that to customers cars because it can lead to belt slipage however, when any of the mechinacs had a squaeel they would throug oil on it |
