Home Depot - A 24" piece of 1" galvanized or black iron pipe is the second best tool to a BIG hammer.

Just got home from my cousins house, while pulling into the driveway the noise is there.

And its constant if I turn the steering wheel and leave it turning, I guess putting strain on the engine?

I do not understand what the noise is!!!??!!!???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Im going crazy now!

Maybe after using it, and it is making the noise, I should immediately re-adjust the belt tighter?

Bando is a really good brand of belt if you can find one. Also gates is good too. They are both oem manufactures for many cars.

Picked up the belt last night now going to change it today... guess I will measure deflection by hand lol
