car has a weird squeal noise when cold. This was happening then when the car was warm it would stop. I was driving the other day and all of a sudden my power steering went so I pulled over and noticed my belt was chewed up. I replaced the belt hoping it was just the belt. Well it seemed fine and I drove it home. Parked it in the garage last night and came out this morning before work to start it. I was going to drive it to work but, I heard more squealing from the car so right then I there I knew it wasn't just the belt. I was told that it might be a bearing in either the alternator or the tensioner I believe. How hard is it to fix something like this and is this even my problem????

I guess what i'm really trying to get at is. Does anyone work for beer or something that I can put on my credit card GAS??? I need this fixed yet my mechanic doesn't take credit card and I have NO MONEY what so ever so it would have to be a credit card purchase. So i'm asking if anyone would be willing to help me in my situation. I don't know the exact problem yet so I'm not sure thats what I listed is even it.

Take the belt off and spin the pulleys by hand, bad idlers will spin long, sound dry/metallic and will wiggle side to side, a lubricated idler with a good bearing will have some drag, wont spin long and will be fairly tight.
Alternators can make these kind of noises with a bad bearing . P/s Pumps generally last foreveer, W/p's usually leak water when they go bad but spin it and see how it feels.
Sometimes a/c clutch hubs go bad and make some ugly noises.
Sometimes tensioners go bad too so have a quick look at that also.

well I had a tensioner problem in my 96 cobra. I had to replace it because it was bowing. My buddy said mine tensioner looks fine and is operating fine so I don't believe that is the problem. When I get hom from work later i'll try playig with the pullies like you suggested.

if you still cant get it fixed, we could work something out, i have a paypal account that i can accept credit cards. I dont think it would cost to much in labor.

well it looks like that noise must be the supercharger bearing. So I don't know how the hell i'm going to get that fixed.

I'm not a E-thug and I'll fight anyone that is willing, not just highschoolers. I won't say i'm going woop some ass but, i'll sure try. I'll be at packy's on packard and Fin N Feather tonight. Please stop by and make yourself known. If you want to see what a titty sucker can do.

Im not going to drive down there to be "called out" by a mama's boy. Not to mention I have a REAL job and have to work in the morning so going out and getting hammered durning the week isnt an option.

But! If your ever feeling like you WANT to pick a fight with someone, as I said earlier we have a few bars up here that have boxing rings. I be more then happy to whoop your ass after you sign a liability waiver.

I dont feel like being sued by a titty sucker that obviously cant find a job on his own...
