Bird trapped under hood
no, not really. Need some help tho...a while back I was getting some high chirps from under the hood only when accelerating. I noticed I had a wobbly balancer so I replaced it and the belts. Car was fine for a few hundred miles. Now the chirping/squeaking when I accelerate is back. Tensioner? Pulleys? I can't seem to pinpoint where this is coming from. I researched a bit throughout the forum but haven't seen anything. Any suggestions on a good starting point? Thanks!

Watch the video...and buy one of these alignment tools and stick with OEM parts !!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyGOlBJQjeE I did buy an AC Delco balancer. A lot of people push for aftermarket brands, but I tend to stick with the factory replacement parts. |

Good deal !!...let us know what you find...you can get the kit off Amazon for around $85.00 !! I did happen to notice that the crickets quiet down a bit when the AC is on. Would that indicate the tensioner near the compressor? I'll have to get a stethoscope and poke around I guess. BUT FIRST, I'll be replacing a freaking rear sway bar that randomly "popped" on the exit ramp.

Mine was the AC idler pulley...

I have a stock rear sway that you can have if you will pay for shipping. It is in really good condition. I removed it to upgrade to the C6 bars. Let me know if you want it.
