Default Help! Squeaky sound ...

SOMETIMES I get a squeaky sound from the front of the engine. No real pattern to when it occurs, but mostly when cold. Lately even after a long drive it is there.

It only is there at idle. Slight rev increase and it vanishes.

I am thinking belt. I hope it isn't a pulley!!!

Any suggestions??????

Go to Napa and get a tube of there silcone grease, remove the front sway bar bushing and coat them with grease and reinstall. Very easy to do. I did front ond backs in about 10 min.

"It only is there at idle." It is coming from the front of the engine. Nothing to do with motion of the vehicle.
