Default 99 grand am serpintine belt - 12-21-2006 , 08:58 AM






My serpintine belt won't stop squealing, i've already had it replaced once
and then about 3 weeks later it started again is now worse than ever,
anyone else have this problem, can someone give me some insight on how to
fix it for more then just 3 weeks.
thanks in advance

Check the driven devices. A bearing going out will increase drag. Water pump
being the most likely and will be a real problem if it breaks on the road.
If the pump is bad and the hoses are more than 3 years old I'd replace them
too, especially the bottom hose. Replaced mine (96) several years ago when
the serpentine belt started showing cracks.

Thanks guys, if I brought it into a mechanic do you think they would be
able to identify the problem. Hopefully it won't cost too much.
