I have a squeeky noise coming from the belt of my 1998 Ford Explorer. Is the belt Squeeky or is it the tensioner pulley.

How should I know based on what you have written? It could just be a loose belt for all I know.

I’m having a hard time seeing and hearing it from this distance. Can you park it closer to your PC?

Based on all the info, I’d have to say clogged air filter. That, or worn tie rod ends.
