Mike2JZ Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Auxillery Tensioner most likely. Had a few squeak like that when they are knackered whilst idling. If you look closely, you can see it jumping around, shouldnt do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Cheers Mike, I read I may I can change the bearing of the wheel to see if that fixes it rather than all of it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 That clicking is typically from the auxillery tensioner itself rather than the bearing. But if you take aux belt off and spin the wheel by hand you can determine if bearing is bad. Normally if the bearing is bad then you will feel a lot of side to side movement on it.
