How close to the edge can the serpentine belt be on the tensioner? Mine is right at the edge (new belt). Is it ok like that? If not, what should I doooo?
 
When I replaced my belt it made the supercharger whine too. It went away after a week or two.

If I remember Ill take a look at my tensioner when I leave for work. If you belt is still seated correctly on all the other pullies I wouldnt sweat it.
 
Alright thanks. It hasn't broke yet so I guess it'll be ok. Just in case, I'm taking my old belt and tools needed to change it with me to the mountains in 2 weeks.
 
If the belt is right near the back edge of the tensioner, both in my family fleet are like that (both Mystiques w/Duratec), one with new tensioner.
