A friend of mine has a 99 obs with 103k miles. He has a squeek that I thought was a loose belt. I checked the belts and they were all tight, the squeek is def coming from belt area. I used the old screw driver to ear trick on alternator and ac, power steering pumps to see if a bearing was going, but no dice. I assume then that it is the idler pulley with a bad bearing. Any one know if this is common or if something else could cause a beltlike squeeling from accessory area? If it is the idler then it will be a snap to change, just looking to pick peoples brains.
