are there any pullies that have a tendancey of their bearings going out? i have a new whine that isnt my PS pump. a few weeks ago i had a really bad squeak taht started only when the car was cold then started happening more frequently i put belt dressing oon it that didnt help so i changed the belt that made the squeak go away but now i have a whineits nothing really terrible but it annoys me. i think it may be my AC so im probably goin to just get the AC delete from SSM i dont use it anyway ( i got the 270 AC [2 windows down at 70 miles an hour]) so anyway anyone know of a particular bearing that i should look at?


oh btw im thinking bearing cause it gets more noticible at higher RPM's

Nah, not a bearing, most likely. What tends to happen is that some belts vary in the exact formula of rubber they use. This can often cause a whining sound, that DOES get worse as RPMs go up. If you want to check, run the car, and hit the belt with a bit of lubricant on both sides of it. The sound should stop for a few seconds. If that is the case, you can either live with it, or get a new belt. This is the exact (and I mean in every way, even my initial thoughts were the same as yours) same thing that happened to me. That will teach me to buy the better belts.
