420A 420a Tension Pulley

[Leonthefaded]

I just started eharing this screeching this morning and now after my car has been sitting for awhile. I know I need new belts all around to include timing. My question is did the belt replacement work out or did you have to replace that tension pulley? Maybe I should be replacing all of my pulleys to be on the safe side?

Im having the same tensioner problems in my GS. i really like bullettdsm's mod but if you delete it will that take away any power or cause any damage at higher speeds or while taking off?

Nope.

I'd start by tightening the AC/PS belt, that's the most likely cause of the squeaking.

I have done this mod many times on our cars. They have been going for thousands of miles with no issues (btw, here is another bit of info for belt choices 2GNT.com - Accessory_Belt_Sizes ).

As for replacing ALL the pulleys, there is no real reason to replace them unless they have been abused or are bent. If they wobble, generally it is because of whatever the shaft they are on has worn bearings. You would have to look at that on a case by case basis.

Thank you all for the awesome advice I will check this out soon as the weekend starts
