squeaking sound from engine seems like maybe the belt?
hey guys...just drove home and a buddy told me i had a squeaking sound from the front end...when i checked it..it was indeed a weird squeaking sound and a piece of metal on which the belt runs on is moving...dont know if thats normal or if thats causing the squeak...heres a pic of that piece its the lower middle piece thats made of all metal right infront of the hose in the...maybee is it that piece or the whole belt?pic

Awesome, I just posted exactly the same problem a few hours ago and I'm from NY too! My squeaking went away after my car sat for a couple hours, I think my belt might have gotten some moisture on it from the rain today. Maybe see if yours does the same?

Its not supposed to move/wiggle a lot. If I were a betting man I would say that noise isn't gone for good. You might have to replace the tensioner which is super easy. You can also try using belt dressing and spray it on the belt.

took it to ford and they said the tensioner arm has a spring inside and that spring loosend over time and that im going to have to replace the tensioner arm...says its not a big deal and should be a cheap and easy fix...they sell the piece for about 80 and on ebay its about 40
