Well this morning when i was driving to work i noticed the car made a strange noise. hasnt ever happened before and it does sound pretty bad when im driving.

its like a strange squeaking noise depending on the rpm. but then it kind of sounds like a clunking/grinding noise when the rpm is higher. i cant pinpoint where the noise is coming from. but im thinking its from the front half of the car.

any ideas guys?i know it isnt the timing chain guide. sounds different i believe.

oh im running a dual cam ka.

heres a vid

that sounds like an AC clutch or belt not tight enough to me...check your belts to see if there worn..and replace them with good belts if they are...you might allso have oil on them too...if its not the belts...it may be the AC clutch or the pully tentioner failing..or even the Alternator berings..you need to isolate it to be shure with a buddy....hope this sets ya in the right direction..good luck
