that spray stuff is a temporary fix. your belt is either loose or old.

 

yea, check the tension of your belt....if its loose then tighten it. and a good rule to go by for it being old is...if it has more than 12 cracks in an inch span replace it....if your running a heavily upgraded motor then I would say about 8-10 cracks to be on the safe side.
Peace,

not cracked anywhere actually looks real good to be honest. But you dont think it could be the pulley bearing???? just wondering. Thanks for the info guys.

 

your belt is probably loose....seems to happen often on sr's... my belt use to squeel every now and then....the bolt on the adjuster (located on the alt. bracket) was messed up or somethin....make sure u fix it...ur water pump is powered by this belt...if its not spinnin' right then ur motor is gona get hot and go kaboooom! Check to make sure the belt is still good like everyone else is sayin too.

What motor do u have?

 

go out to ur car and see how much deflection or play the belt has then come back n the house and post on here....then ill try to help u out from there...also look or try to look at the tensioner bolt im talking about (on the alt. bracket) i think its a 12mm

did u check what i told you to? another question.....what belt do u spray the silicone on? that would tell u which belt/pulley/tensioner its comming from.

 

I only have one belt in the front casue i do not have any power steering or a/c so the alternator belt. I am going out to tighten it up now.

 

yea just tighten it

 

if it's still squeaking after the cars been warmed up and driving, then it's your pulley bearings.

 

take belt off. and spin each pulley and check if any rattling, if so it could be the bearings from over tightning.

 

I had this squeeky noise and solved it by making sure the pulleys are in line. Get a straight edge and put it up againts one of the pulleys. Make the other end of the straight edge reach the other pulley to let you know if they are in line with each other. Mine were slightly off. I added some washers on the alternator pulley to get it lined up. Use lock washers. Let us know if this solves your problem.

That is exactly what i was thinking, because on a diff car of mine i had that same problem, but it was so bad it would actually run fine with one rib off of the pulley without squeaking so i figured it was off a little bit so i did what you said and i didnt have any more probles with it the whole time i owned it

 

if you are spraying the belts, you are not keeping them from slipping you are allowing them to slip easier, but not make a noise. silicone is a lube, why would you want to do that?
