Message	Hey everyone I recently changed the 3 drive belts on my z. Then my belts started to squeak really bad when I started it and even while driving the car then it sometimes would go away. So I brought my car back to my mechanic I thought maybe the belts needed adjustments so then the mechanic said I needed a new ac pulley so I put in a new nissan ac pulley. The mechanic claimed that the car was still making noise due to needing a alternator. Which I find this weird because the car starts up fine and I let the car sit for days without starting. So I didn't have the mechanic change the alternator because I didn't think it is that. To me the car drives fine and now for a day or two the car really hasn't been squeaking. Any suggestions? Thanks Vinny

Follow Bo's procedure (n/m) - ZUL8TR 09:32:02 08/26/11 as i stated, not exactly a good way - mikehawkhertz 12:27:21 08/26/11 poor advice (n/m) - aliaZ 16:11:12 08/26/11
