Re: my car just started squeeling when i come to a stop

It is squealing because you are torturing her...

Seriously now, the squealing usually comes from alternator belt, either its tensioner is loose or the crankshaft pulley is starting to crack, or some bolt is loose and making the pulley loose.... Check them out first.

Re: my car just started squeeling when i come to a stop

Ive never known a loose belt to NOT be affected by RPMs. But it cant be your brakes if it does it after you stop.

So my diagnosis is: You have a gerbil trapped in the filter box, and you're scaring the bleep out of it when you go and stop. Let the lil bleeper go and pray he doesnt sue....

As Chris said, this might be coming from your brakes, from where are you hearing this sound? while braking or from the engine?

I assumed it was from the belts, since the word "squealing" is directly related to the engine belts (same as barking to the dog )

Let us know

Re: my car just started squeeling when i come to a stop

ok so i think ive worked out what my problem is
i tightened the belts up as much as i could and started her up and took it for a drive no more squeeking
i stopped again and had another look under the hood and noticed my crank shaft pulley seems to be wobbling a little bit
that cant be good can it where do u suggest i get a new one ?

They are the same. Pretty much any EJ series subaru engine will have the same crank pulley.
