Default Squeky noise!!!

I've changed both the serpentine belt and the AC belt on my 99 Camaro and it still makes the squeky sound constantly, and it is annoying and embaressing at the track. Any suggestions or alternative ways to make this annoyance go away?> Could it be the pulleys??

Remove your belts, and spin the idler pulley, both your tensioner pulleys, and your alternator pulley. Listen for a real faint squeak.

I replaced both Idler pulleys on my car with new OEM style pulleys from discount auto. less than 10 bucks a pulley and the replacements are actually metal instead of plastic and made by Dayco I believe.

I went through hell with a squeal on my 99. after much research I found a TSB on the alternator bracket and pulley on it replaced that, both belts, the other idler pulley, and the belt tensioner. Dont know which one it was (wasnt belts) but i fixed it!

Yes the one that squeaks should be your problem pulley.
