Hi guys... well, at last I can finally drive my dad's Spor Trac, let me tell you there is wrinding/zummbing noise comming from the front/left wheel, 99% sure it is a bearing problem. Both front bearing are being shipped right now.

But, there is another problem. Squeek noise from engine bay, the serpentine belt was replaced 3 times, also with a shorther one. Noise still. The mech, says that the tensioner is weak, so since the car has the bearing problem I recommended my dad to stop the car until the new bearing is installed. The new tensioner here cost around 100usd, rockauto has it for far less. My question is: what do you recommend: DORMAN, GATES, DAYCO, FOUR SEASON, ACDELCO??? I now most of them are pretty good but I would like to here your opinion.
Thanks.
