Miata Short // Squeaky belt noise?

[@grandtheftauto1233]

Anyone watching this you need to inspect the lower pivot bolt that must be tightened after doing the tensioner bolts. This can wear out the bracket hole and you’ll have issues with alternator alignment

Talking about the bottom bolt ? Mines missing a nut

[@grandtheftauto1233]

@@hamzafattah8280 yes the long bottom bolt needs a nut on the back mine did not have the nut and it wore out the hole and
I couldn’t get it to keep tension

Hey, the _only_ video I found on this problem was yours. On point and to the point.
Thank you!

Thanks miss VTECH good vid just what I needed for my baby

[@mattman2314]

This is exactly the video that I needed to watch. Need to fix mine now :P

[@garyworokevich2524]

Oh yeah that guy !!! The guy doing the sound effects was in the movie Police Academy as well.

[@RickyKehoe]

Tightened it but still have the issue. I didn't tighten it super hard. Could that be the problem? If not what else could it possibly be?

[@malmansoori2384]

Pull the alternator as hard as you can when tightening, that solved my issue

[@sethfranke4177]

I couldn’t tell from the video but did it end up being the alternator belt causing the noise. I have the exact same issue and it also happens when I coast in neutral

[@MsVtec]

Yes the alternator tensioner bolt wasn’t tightened, my alternator only had one bolt in it.
