tired of belt squeel

[brian102]

Can it be the autozone alternators causing this? To begin with i had voltage drops at idle, so i warrantied 3 of them. Now ive switched over to the saturn alternator swap. I still get voltage drop when i come to an idle, and belt squeel every time. Especially if my lights are one. I flushed my power steering out to just to make sure there is less resistance there. My crank pulley wobbles a little bit so i need to replace that, what should i go with.
Would that really cause my belt squeel. It all seem to start when i went to an autozone alternator. I first bought the car and it had oem one and never once did the belt squeel. Ive tried dayco,drive works, and valucraft belts as well.

Did you adjust the belt?

im using a dayco belt as we speek and i have no squeels. Its not the belt issue. You need to ensure it's tightened properly. Rule of thumb that a mitsu mechanic shared with me is that you should be able to only twist the belt 1/4 direction in any direction. If it is still too loose then it will exceed this 1/4 tolerance.

So couple things, check tension on the belt, check oil leaks around the belt, and if it raining rev it up and should drop squel for a little but belts love rain.

Replace the harmonic balancer with a NEW OEM balancer. With the belt tension, and you should have it tight enough that you cannot rotate the belt more than 45* from being level.

Edit: It's what Lunar said .

Ive tried it tight loose and everywhere in between. I guess ill check tension again when i get home.

Ive always had belt squealing problems. I'm not sure what it is, but the only way i ever found to fix it is authentic Mitsubishi belts from the dealership. As horrible it is to hear that, its always helped me. Also, definitely get your harmonic balancer fixed like said above.

Sounds like bad harmonic balancer which will always cause belts to squeal: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...lace-your-crank-pulley-harmonic-balancer.html

I had the same issue and it turned out to be the harmonic balancer.
