Tensioner Noise - Question
The tensioner on my '02 Z makes sort of a "tinny", squeeking noise. It changes pitch when I place a few fingers on top of the tensioner and apply force downward. My original GM warranty expires on the 22nd of this month. Has anyone had something similiar or give me an idea what might be wrong? Bearings inside the tensioner?
Gracias if anyone can help/offer suggestions.

Today I tookoff both my tensioner and idler pully and cleaned them and packed them with grease. Over time the grease leaks out and they start making noise. Now I have no squeeks.

Thanks to you, also. It TRULY amazes me the depth of knowledge displayed at this site, and other Camaro-owner's sites. Everyone's sharing of info is appreciated, since I am learning things each and every day.

Update;
My local Chevy dealer replaced both the tensioner and the AC compressor - all parts/labor under warranty. Cannot imagine what they would have charged me otherwise. Makes me consider (yet again) an extended warranty on the Z.
"Hats off" to all you folks!

Go for it. I knew I would never put that many miles on my z, so would never use it (98 with now 47k on it....). My 2 new cars (Xterra and wifes Scion) have 100k mile warranties.... Only like $1100. 1 transmission and it is paid for.....
