well everynow and then my car screeches i have no a/c or powersteering dont know if it can be the alternator belt or my timing belt please help

 

alternator belt...

 

Definitely not your timing belt....

 

so change my alternator belt or do i adjust it i believe it got loose cuz i checked today and my lower bolt for my alternator was gone

 

tighten your alternator belt.. thats all... pull it back with a stick or something and tighten that dam thing and your good to go

 

yea pull it back and get the bolt back in there

 

thanks guys

 

Replace that lower bolt while you're at it. Prevent it from happening in the furure at a really lousy time. One time that happened to me after taking my car out to a meetup... the power steering was loose because I missed tightening it down. I was pulling out and SSSCCCRRREEEEEEEE went the ps system. Embarrassing as hell. I popped the hood, gave a few turns to the wingnut on the pump and left feeling like a retard. lol

 

check the alternator belt.

 

sounds like a timing belt issue or a blown head gasket...you're [freak]ed.

 

sounds like the alternator belt to me

lol^^

 

This was the case with my 95 Ex. The crankshaft pulley was spinning on the crankshaft. Might wanna look at the pulley as well.

 

the crankshaft pulley was spinning on the crankshaft? you my friend need a new crank. its most likely the alt belt slipping.

 

was the alternator belt double check today the sound came rite from there. seems like wen the bolt came of it moved and it broke the bracket on top i guess it stressed out the bolt on top and broke it so i fix it and now no screeeeeeeeeeech IT IS EMBARASSIN THOUGH

 

what's the best way to get this thing tight because I've tried this 3 times and can't get it tight enough! Bigger stick? LOL??? 2 people maybe? I'm so sick of hearing this screeching!

 

maybe try not loosening the adjustment bolt all the way. That way when you push the alternator tight and then release presure it won't go back to the original position. Or just get your dad to help you.

 

^^^ LOL ... I'm 28 and my dad is across the country. I'm wondering if my problem is with the bearings in the alternator or that it has aftermarket pullies. It's got new belts too. ARGE

 

im hearin some dumb *** answers, its the belt its loose, tighten the bitch up same **** happend to me

 

^lol^ true that, b16acrxsi, the answer is in your face, unless you didnt read the whole thing

 

there is one stud at the bottom of the alterador. its a stud and on the other side its a nut. loosen that and see if you can pull the belt back.

but seriously man, if you dont want to worry about that problem for a GOOD while. just go down to autozone, or kragen and get a new belt. that happend to my car just yesterday. i got tired of it the first day, so i went to the store and got the belt and doesnt do it anymore.

Has anyone seen that Insurance add on TV for extended warranty for your car. They show a car making a gord awfull noise and say it's the alternator, sounds like the pistons fell out to me.
Either way, no alrenator I ever saw/heard made a noise like that car.
