my gs recently started squeaking when my A/C was on itermitantly. then when it started cold the drive belt would sqeak. So here is were im at now:

new drive belt: $20
new A/C compressor: $800
new Powersteering pump:$260
new belt tensioner: $180

$1500 later and still the same dam squeak on cold start up, hard turns, and accleration with the A/C. tell me im not the only 95 GS with this problem. im at the piont of getting ready to let this thing go. any experiance you guys got with this problem i cant wait to here.

thanks in advance.

does the rate of squeak change with the fan speed?

wickedst

nope. only when theres pressure on the belt from the powerstering or A/C.

Xeeeeeem

Does it do this consistanly or only when the car is cold?

Take a look at your accesory belt tensioner and the pulley. Thats what did it for me

wickedst

for a few seconds on start up if its cooled down.

Ever solve this problem? I'm just getting started on this same journey it seems...

i would put money on it that its the crank pully being separated at the rubber in the middle .... best way to diagnose this would be turn the wheel and give the motor a quick rev at the same time with the a/c on and if it squeals most likely its that

Yeah check crank pully for cracks in the rubber on the sides might be coming apart

2nd on the crank pulley, if you put load on the system (turn on the ac), you might see the pulley wobble. change it anyway, just due to the age. Ebay as some solid pulleys. I did a refub on my car.

I had the same thing happen to me twice. It's the crank pulley.

Get yourself a new one, or an ATI one, or a fluiddampner.

Shoot me a PM and I'll get you one at a discount.

PMs sent about crank pulleys, stock VS ATI. I recommend the ATI. and It's not that bad to swap out. READ THE DIRECTIONS WITH THE ATI 8-). It's nearly a pres-fit, but it makes the engine much smoother than stock.
