'92 Geo Metro squealing problem
By lawyer - usenet poster
I've got a '92 Metro, with about 82K miles on it, in pretty
decent shape. Over the last couple months, it's started
squealing first thing in the morning. Basically, it starts
when I put it in drive, and continues for about 3 miles
(sometimes more, sometimes less) - usually stopping after I've
slowed down (not necessarily with the brakes) a bit, then
sped back up.
I have no idea where to start looking. Any suggestions?
(BTW - I got talked into changing the CV joints on an 88
Oldsmobile next weekend - this shouldn't be terribly
difficult, right?)

THE PROBLEM COULD BE A LOOSE OR GLAZED BELT. THE BELT IS LOOSE AND AFTER
RUNNING ENGINE THE BELT EXPANDS AND TIGHTENS UP. THE BEST WAY TO TELL THIS
IS TO SQUIRT A PENETRATING SPRAY ON PULLY OR BELT AND START CAR IF NOISE
GOES AWAY, THEN CHANGE THE BELTS. IF NOT LOOK FOR OIL OR A CONTAMINATION
OF SOME KIND ON BELT,

Sounds to me like your alternator belt is slipping. Tighten or replace
it to stop the squeal.
good luck on the CV joints.
