What is the large pulley above the harmonic balancer with the mail belt? I had the squealing noise and replaced the idler pulley along with both belts. That fixed that issue! That being said now I can hear what seems to be the harmonic balancer or the pulley above that. Sounds like maybe bearings going out??? Any suggestions before I bring it to a mechanic...
