I did drop the front shaft then as i accelerated whilst in reverse in driveway I heard the chirping immediately. There is no chirping whatsoever while in Park idleing at any rpm.. In reverse or drive as soon as i accelerate i get the chirping.
So I just noticed that even while in park at idle if i quickly tap the accelerator to 1500 rpm i hear the chirp, so Im thinking maybe i should look at the belt and pulleys, im going crazy with this one. If only i knew what to fix ahhhh.
Take off the belt and repeat the condition that causes the squeak quickly then shut down so you don't overheat the motor, if the noise is gone then you know its probably in the accessories driven by the belt to narrow it down
I watched a fella drip very small stream of water on a slipping belt to narrow down which bit was squeaking. The water acts as a very temporary lubricant.
Never tried it myself.
edit, sounds more like a pulley to my very untrained ear.
wont be able to work on her till later but just in case i need to replace the idlers or tensioner, id rather replace the bearings in them, anyone know what part numbers or where to get em?
