ANNOYING SQUEAKING NOISE

hey im getting a real annoying squiking noise in the front when i starter up. then it willl fade out. after a while.

i replaced a wheel in the motor wasnt it. put a new distrubuter cap on. new alternater well that was cracked. i have a feeling its the distrubuter caps rod in it what yall think.

the easiest way to detect a noise is to open the hood and start it up and go ot the engine and listen. A stethoscope will help or a wooden dowel held up to your ear. There are lots of things that can squeek in the engine departemnt. Is your belt adjusted correctly?

the tensoner pulley us usually the cause.

its a jeep, live with it.

ooo i have lived with havin the noise just making shoe noth sious could appen like be in pa and the squakyy nise deiceds to be grinding fireyy noise

so why not replace the belt and keep the old one as a spare?

just fixed the same type of noise on a 4cyl tj for a friend two weeks ago. it was the fixed bearring on the pass. side of the block. you can press out the bearing and purchase it for $11 and press it back in, or buy the whole unit for $30. when I say press i did it with a hammer and large socket. to find out which bearring is making the noise hit them with wd40 one at a time and see if the noise queits down. if it does you have found the bad bearring. by the you really need to check your typing. I used to think i had the worst, but your starting to make me look like a teacher.
