Squeaky A/C belts..... - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

My A/C belts are squealing like a pig getting chased by the Baconator. Is there any simple way to fix this? Everything is tight, but they scream every time the condensor kicks in. Freaking annoying.

Do I need new belts?

I would say yes.. new belts. They are cheap dude. MAX $10 at Autozone

Yeah man, just throw a new belt on there.

If it's the belts themself this may seem funny but throw some baby powder on the belt while the car is on. It'll take that squeel right away. Downside you get baby powder in that area upside is it'll stop it for a little till you can get a new belt on there.

be careful with the tensioner when doing the belts. I broke mine.
