Squealing, a wobbling pulley or uneven belt wear can mean the pulley is worn. With the engine off and cool, look at the pulley and belt for cracks, play or a rough feel when turned by hand. Noise can also come from other belt-driven parts, so find where it starts before you replace anything.

The pulley is listed for a wide range of Ford, Mercury and Lincoln models, including the 1992-2003 Mercury Sable and the 1995-2002 Lincoln Continental. A 1992-2003 Ford Taurus takes one pulley. Owners of another model can look up their car in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
