Q: Still having a squeak
So I asked about my ford explorer the other day and it has a squeaking problem when I accelerate. I replaced the alternator, pully, tensioner, and ball joint but I'm still having the same issue. I was hoping when I replaced the tensioner the problem would be gone but it's still accurring. When the sound happens it doesn't get louder or quieter it stays the same pitch no matter my speed. Any ideas on what it could be?
