I've replaced 3 belts in the past 2 months, all varying from tight to normal fit. I still get the damned belt squeak and the car only gets driven to the track and home a few times a month. I've replaced the alternator (under autozone warranty..thought it was that), swapped idlers for different ones I have laying around, replaced my tensioner bearing, etc. Im begining to think its the 4lb lower causing the problems. Im thinking its to close to the lower idler and I need to move the idler out on the metco plate. Is this the case? My buddy has a belt squeak with his 4lb lower car also, but it doesnt happen nearly as often. I put a new belt on and the noise goes away. I drive to the track, run passes, and on my way home (50 miles) its start squeaking. I don't think its track related. This is pissing me off.
btw- 4lb lower, 2.8 upper, aux idler, stock idlers everywhere else.
Thanks,
Corey
