Default my ac system squeaks

it only does this when its turned on. the faster i go the faster it squeaks. even at idle its loud.

i have been told that it is the Idler pulley. anyone know how hard it is to change these out? would it be easier to try to exchange them from underneath? also where is a good place to get one cheap? i have checked ebay and majestic online. they both want over 40 bucks. its that actually reasonable for such a small pulley?

it could be that your belt is just loose and needs to be tightened up. or your belt is no good. if it is your tensioner just pull it out from the top. you will have to move the power steering pump out the way. $40 bucks is usually how much they cost. try a local parts store, they might have it cheaper.

Yep, try tightening the belt. Usually a loose belt is the culprit.

Belt tension is off. Tight/loose, that's the problem.
