Nothing fixes this squeak
Okay, I have a really annoying squeak from the front of the engine that cannot be stopped. I have replaced belt tensioner, idler pulley, alternator, and the belt itself. I believe the squeak is constant, but I can only hear it at low speeds. What the hell could this be?
Thanks

buy yourself a tech stethoscope, it's 4 bucks at harbor freight tools.
alternator bearing comes to mind number one. every squeak i had in any car started with alternator bearing.
btw, water pump will do it just fine.
STETHOSCOPE!!!

Yep I've got one of them stethescopes, but I couldn't find the ticking noise on mine so while it was running I gave the belt a good dose of WD-40. Its been tick free for 2.5 months now so I must have done something right!

I have the same problem, changed belt, idler pulley, belt tensioner,water pump and alternator. Stops for a day or so and always comes back. Only thing left to change is the power steering and harmonic balancer. Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks tech2, I finally found the problem. It was the power steering pump. The shaft pulled out about a half inch when i pulled on the pulley. The pump was causing a misalignment and a slight freying of the belt. I think this has solved the problem.
