Sorry?.. . Do you mean the tie-rod ends? What are the steering knuckles?
Yes, my belt is tight.. at least! And, I used the belt conditioner also??
Crank pulley (Aluminum).. . Hmmmmm? I'll check.. LOOKS GOOD!.. ?
OK, added more belt dressing.. . BETTER .. less squeaking. Could it be the type of belt I used? I got the high-tech .. more expensive belt.. I think about $16 to $18.. as opposed to the cheaper ones.. $9 to $11. I think the composition of the sturdier belt is different.. Would that make it slip more possibly?? How do you know you have enough (or too much) belt tension?
I'll have to try in the morning .. to see if it still jerks and/or squeaks.. . ?
Thanks, Jim
