Chirping or squealing from the belt drive, cracked or glazed ribs, or a tensioner arm that moves unevenly can mean this kit is worn, though a weak alternator or water pump bearing can make a similar noise. Changing the belt alone can shorten its life and that of other front-end accessory components.
