Serpentine belt noise from rear.

Yep, I've had a very occasional squeal coming from the rear axle area (location confirmed by several passengers) for a few weeks. I assumed wheel bearings and am going to replace them anyway when I finish breaking in my new gears. Yesterday, however, I noticed that the squeal stopped when I turned off the A/C to hear it better. Yep, it was the belt. Just another example of how the sounds aren't really coming from where you think in the XJ.
