2005 Legacy: mysterious squeak


Recommended Posts

Its a squeak that sounds like its coming from the serpentine belt area that lasts a few seconds when I'm accelerating from a low gear or in a low RPM (its a manual). Its hard to identify the location since it doesn't squeak at idle. I replaced both belts and the tensioner pulley on the a/c belt (they all needed replacing) and things haven't changed. It squeaks much less or not at all when things are wet out. I tried adjusting with the belt tension and that doesn't seem to change anything. My next though is that maybe there are bad bearings in the other pulleys? They don't seem to be lose though and I wouldn't know how to identify which one to start with. Nothing like a little squeak to drive you crazy. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
