Strange rattle/squeal
I have a 99 FRC, and I am hearing a small squeal/rattle from the front of the car from 1400-2000 RPM under light throttle, it sounds like a bearing of some sort, and it is related to RPM in the way that it gets a little stronger and louder as RPM's increase, but it is not there under heavy throttle. It does not sound like it is coming from internaly.
Any one else had/heard of this before.
I am new the the Vette stuff, I have had mine for about 3 months now.
Thanks for any help.

Jake99,
Replacement of the idler pulley according to a TSB for 1997 - 1999 C5's eliminated the squeak at lower RPM's on my 1999 C5. You may view the TSB here: http://corvetteactioncenter.com/kb/q....php?qstId=258
Good luck.
