So the squeal coming from the front of my engine was my belt tensioner pulley bearing, I took it off and you could tell it was shot. Had that feeling that the ball bearings were squared off, kind of a jerky feeling when you spun it. Anyway, I need one that isn't all bus. Anyone have one laying around? WTB?

Thanks and LMK,

Its this thing:

Did I say it was that LMAO.

contact rick at Servco. I believe he has these in stock.

 

Yes Jon, I believe you called it. I'm just glad its not what Ryan thought it was, I didn't want to pull my timing belt lol!

Calling subaru right now!

 

find out how many they have... i might want to get a new one just in case LOL... I think it's like $30

 

Got one, Subaru's got the hookup. Thanks Jon.

 

He said they have a bunch, I will get two if you let me know before 3pm when I leave work.

 

i just picked up my parts from there... no worries, if they have a bunch I'm sure they'll have some when I need it.

 

This is actually a piece that has started to fail on a lot of Subies.

TiC diagnosed and fixed mine a few months ago then they had a rash of like 7-8 other cars that had this same problem. They now stack that single part because of this.

 

Hah, I told you to check that first so that you dont have to pull your timing belt. Same thing Jon helped me do when mines was making noise. Luckly for you he was right this time.

 

this isn't something common or something that happens to new cars on a regular bases. If your car was purchased within the last year or two then you shouldn't need to worry about this.... you will KNOW when this is a problem.

 

hmm i think i might have this problem also...i adjusted my belt's and the sound went away, but every so often i get a lil squeaky..hmm
