Hi me question is about the car after it warms up it starts squeaking like belt but I got new beltt and new tensioner pulley and it still does it. Now I did an experiment and I took the belt off and let just the crankshaft by it self and still does the squeaking. So no belt and no other component moving just the harmonic balancer. Can the harmonic balancer squeak like that?Thanks im new to u guys so im making a contribution. Thanks

Yes, those balancers have been known to come apart and make all sorts of noise. Try prying a little on the edge of it with the engine off to see if it moves around. If so you will need to replace it
