my 1998 Mustang GT started squealing again after i replaced the belt 2 months ago. Right now, the car is running rough, shaking at idle, and squealing noise is coming from the engine bay. i had also noticed that i am able to wiggle the idle pulley with my hand. i did some research and that might need to be replaced. also, in the video of my car running (link below) i see the tensioner is jiggling at idle. i also did some research and read that it could also be caused by the bearing in the AC compressor pulley. this car is my daily driver and needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

just to follow up, i had fixed the problem. The belt was completely fine, but the idler pulley and tension pulley were gritty. now my engine is running smooth and no unusual noises coming from it
 
Put some water on belt during a start engine take abottle of water make a hole on cap and just put some water on belt this will help u to know of ur bearing is damaged the sound will not go and if fine the sound will go some time there is some oil on bearing so its make the belt to slip and produce sound like old doors
