Re: 99 stratus making funny noise

I have had to replace the fan belt Idler Pulley on mine a couple of times. They wear out pretty quick. It starts off as a low whining noise, and as it wears worse it becomes a loud whine, sometimes with a slight grinding noise. They are inexpensive, but if you replace this, I would recommend getting it from the dealer. All the aftermarket pulleys I have tried don't fit correctly on the engine, and have taken them all back just to get the one from the dealer. They are only about $20 at the dealer.
