I have the squealing noise that everybody talks about in the front of the engine mine has a slight squeal when the air is off but gets louder when you turn the air on any ideas where I should start looking.

thanks in advance

I would start by replacing both belts. if that does not fix the noise then look into replacing the belt tensioners. you have one for the main belt and one for the airconditioning belt. good luck!

I had the main engine belt replaced when the harmonic balancer was done and the A/C belt was done shortly after so it must be tensioner or bearing what is more common to go first?
