    Need help rebuilding after an accident

    So I recently wrecked my s4 going about 5mph but the damage is still pretty substantial. The hood was pushed in an inch or two which pushed the auxiliary fan in, bending the fan clutch and the pulley. I replaced the radiator, core support, auxiliary fan, upper and lower radiator hoses, fan clutch and the pulley. The car starts and doesn't over heat so I'm good on that front, but the belt is squealing and I can't find out the origin. The auxiliary fan is spinning along with the pulley and everything looks like it's working normally and the belt seems to be lined up fine. Does anybody have an idea to what this could be?

    The only advice I have is to try and listen for the source of the squeal. Perhaps some run-out? Tensioner? Stretched belt? Contamination? Bearing failure?
