having trouble quelling the squeal from a belt. it's done it since the belt was replaced. it's been checked by a couple of mechanics. no real answers from them. i,ve drenched it with belt dressing as best i could. it's extremely difficult to access, even for that.
look for failing bearing/cracked mount on an accessory
reverse the belt and try it
get a new belt
try a different brand of belt
I dunno

replace the belts with factory OEM parts and make sure they are tensioned correctly
Not sure which belt is difficult to access - if you take of the drivers side wheel, and the plastic shroud in the wheel well (two screws and 2 clips) both belts are right there - easy to see, inspect, and replace.
