I have been trying to trace a belt chrip squeak in my serpentine belt for the last couple of weeks. I checked the torque and it appears (no I do not have a gauge...) to be tight, only have about a half inch of threads before I run out. With the engine running I did the old spray water till it quiets out, harmonic balancer is the squeeler. I then watched the belt as it made its rounds. I noticed a slight wobble on the pulley for the AC Delete,(http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1055932).
I pulled the belt this afternoon. I spun the idle pulley, smooth. ac delete pulley smooth. water pump smooth. fan clutch seems to be operating affectively and spun smooth.
That being said. Any similar experiences with the ac pulley not being solid?
Am I in the right ball park about a bad balancer?
Thanks for reading
