Hi Fixmy,

Can you describe the sound a bit more?

Does the squeal sound more like rubber squealing—similar to wet shoes on a waxed floor—or is it more of a metal squeal, like an old gate opening or worn bearings rotating?

That detail will help narrow down whether the issue is related to something like a belt or seal, versus a bearing or pulley component. Let us know what it sounds like and we’ll go from there.
