Belt too tight? Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Engine and Car Noises zmasterflex User May 7, 2012, 7:09 PM Post #1 of 4 (2493 views) Belt too tight? Sign In 96 Cherokee Sport 4L 74K. Recently some work was done on the car. I have a feeling that the belt might be on too tight because when I put the A/C on there is a screeching coming from underneath the hood, it sounds like the power steering pulley. Everywhere I look online it says to check it by hand which it seems to check out fine and none of the local parts stores carry a belt tension tool. Never had a problem with any component causing noise until now. Does it make sense that a tight belt is causing this noise? thanks Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 7, 2012, 7:23 PM Post #2 of 4 (2476 views) Re: Belt too tight? Sign In Usually a tight belt doesn't screech. It's a loose belt or slipping belt that screeches. Might want to make sure that your AC compressor isn't locked up. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. zmasterflex User May 8, 2012, 5:03 AM Post #3 of 4 (2418 views) Re: Belt too tight? Sign In thanks for the response. If it is locked up, is there anything that I can do about it? Or do I need to have the whole thing replaced by a qualified A/C guy for a truckload?

Sign In If not needed you can get a by-pass for it or a used one with good bearing and unplug it!
