Put a wrench on the bolts & tighten.

High pitch squeak too
I have a high pitch intermittent squeak too. Can't seem to isolate it. I changed the alternator thinking it was the bearing but still have the problem I lubricated the idle and tention pullies and was told the surpentine belt is new. Go figure. Anyone else have this problem?

My research on the Forum validates your recommendation to check the harmonic balancer for wobble. I checked it and it wobbles a little. Nothing out of the ordinary but can cause the squeal. In the "old days" we used a bar of soap on the belt to quiet things down. A new harmonic balancer is a costly replacement and "do it yourself' requires about 4 hours of intensive labor. Oh well. The saga continues.
Thanks for the comeback.
