I recently bought my first car from my neighbor, a nice older gentleman and the car was in very good condition. I shot the bearings in my alternator by being and idiot and getting stuck over a curb and trying to hold in the gas to try to get out when my tires were elevated. I tried to change the belt because I thought maybe my belt went bad so I bought a Gatorback from autozone for a 89 Crown Vic but that didin't work, it still made the nasty sound it was making. I took it to the autoshop and they put a brand new alternator in and said my belt was wrong and put a new belt on it. When I first started driving it again I noticed the belt made a a loud slipping noise just once every time I turned on the car. The mechanic told me if that kept happening after a couple hundred miles to bring it in and they'll tighten it, but the belt is pretty tight i've noticed myself. I usually drive my car with my radio up real loud but one day I turned off my radio and noticed there was a squeaking sound either coming from the left front tire or the alternator, somewhere in that area. The faster I went the faster the squeaking, and somtimes it would be a chittering sound. When I stopped it would completely stop, and if I go slow it's a slow squeak. What I'm trying to figure out is if this is my brake pads squeaking or my alternator belt, the autoshop I got my alternator put in at is kinda far out and if I bring it up there and make myself look like a prick and get them to look at it and it doesn't happen to be the alternator. I honestly don't know how to check and see if my rotor is getting messed up because I have no clue how to reach it, I'm used to being able to see the rotor from the Japanese type rims. I'm guessing I have to take the whole tire off?
