Hi,

Chances are it is related to one of the belt-driven accessories. In this case, I would recommend removing the serpentine belt to see if there is any play in the pulleys. Also, spin one at a time to see if you feel any roughness when turning that may indicate a failing bearing.

I attached the directions for the removal and installation of the belt. As aforementioned, remove the belt and check for possible issues.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
