I had some squeaking as I pulled out of the lights the other day, sounded like it was coming front he belt,

Took the belt off and the tensioner pully had just a little bit of play in it, suspect that's the problem, is it possible to change just the pully? Or do I need to change out the whole tensioner arm?


Any forums with a step by step how to, or anyone who has done this? Hanes manual talks about the belt only

Thanks!

Update, so I changed the pully, it was definitely shot, but didn't do anything for the noise I am hearing, when driving it sounds like its coming from just on the other side of the firewall, I got under the jeep to check out my u joints, they all seemed tight, except for my front drivers u joint on the axle to the wheel, steering knuckle?  It definitely had some play in it, so it's next on the fix list, but it doesn't seem to be what's making the noise,

Any tips? Noise starts around 35 kph, slowly goes away the faster I go, when idling in neutral it doesn't make any noise, regardless of rims.


I've been reading online about people with similar sounding problems, they are changing pullys, and checking u joints, but still havn't eliminated the problem? Any ideas?

you sure its not one of the other pullys?

They all seemed fine, noise doesn't happen when I'm idling, ir revving it, only while driving, and seems to change with speed, not rims, possible wheel bearing? I'll put it in the air tomorrow and give the wheels a shake

Could be the front driveshaft CV joint, not the Ujoints but he centering ball
