Icon3 bad squeel question

Got a ? for all you 01 owners. I got a horrbile squeel from my car right now. I have changed all my belts and ac works just fine. Squeel stops when i spray belt lube on all 3 belt pullys. Anyone know what it could be? obviously its gotta be a pully but which one? it does it really bad without lube when the ac is on. but it also does it without ac on until car warms up. Any info on whihc pull it could be or how to tell if a pully is bad? Just seeing if anyone else has had this problem. im guessing its the idle pully.

Have you double checked the deflection on your new belts to see if they are tight enough?

To be honest, if its at proper tension I would say its more likely the idler pulley or your A/C Clutch pulley.

Just had this problem the other day though my car doesnt have A/C but i just replaced my belts, thought they had enough tension but turns out they were not. Should have much movement at all. I had to use a large socket on the wing nut to get them tight enough.
