Hi guys,
I am having some issues with the water pump/alt belt on my 88 Festiva. It likes to break. I did notice some squeaking coming from the alternator when I put a new belt on. Could the bearings be worn? It doesn't look like the bracket is bent since the belt is lined up as it should be. Also, the alt pulley spins freely when turned by hand, and the car charges normally when the belt is intact. I don't really know what is causing this and I am getting frusterated. Any help is much appreciated. I posted on fordfestiva.com but almost no one answers over there.
