My wife has what what so far has been a very reliable 92 accord that developed a very persistent squeal after the double pulley that drives all her accessory belts fell apart one day and had to be replaced by my friend and I in his driveway.

The car runs fine, but has a very loud squeal at low RPMs that persists until the engine has been running for a while. Several people (who don't know much about Hondas) have mentioned that it could be the bearings, but obviously can't be more specific.

On an Accord of this vintage with 185,000 miles where should I start looking to try and narrow this down?

 

I have the same exact squealing after the same exact problem. I know the sound is coming from the belts, but I have yet to figure out why. Sooner or later I'm going to change the belts anyways, so hopefully that will solve the problem.

I'd like to hear some suggestions as well. Oh, and let me reassure everyone else, that this is NOT a slipping belt problem.

 

Sounds like a drive belt was left a little loose
