My pullies have recently been making chirping noises like hell. when the car is idle, it makes the noises and it is even more apparent when i give it some gas. I tried to apply lubricant to the belt but it only helps for a day -- the very next day the annoying sounds start again. Could it be the tension of the bolts? Please help.

 

See if its your alternator making the noise or get UR pullies they are way better.

 

try the old "soap on the belt" trick.. use a bar of soap

 

if that doesn't work go to pep boys and buy a belt that is .05" smaller than stock. that would be the next size down. the squealing is most likely a loose/ stretched belt. especially if you you used the original belt when you swapped pullies. i had the same issue. new belt solved the prob! kman

 

I got the pullies on my car and have not had any issue so far (knock on wood). The squeaking is probably from your alternator.

 

who installed them???

balanced performance here in georgia did mine, they do a real professional job.....i guess thats y they charged me for 2 hours = 150$ but then they gave me 50$ discount cause i went there often for installs. but my pulleys are great.. no problems at all. had them for probably about 10,000 miles now

 

Why don't you put the part back on your car that the factory engineered to work with your car?

 

If it is the belt making the noise, take a wire brush and hold it gently against the side of the belt while it is spinning. Works everytime.

 

Nate did you received your rings yet?

 

Because there is no problem modifying any car. The cause is the belt.....it's too long, use the stock belt, it's tricky but it works.

What does that do? Is that better than holding sand paper to the side?

 

I feel dumb asking this, but what do AEM pulleys do and why do they improve performance? This seems to be a popular mod.
