My power steering has been squeaking when I crank the wheel left or right, although it occasionally squeaks just after I've started the car or when the steering is under a bit of a load.

The fluid is fine. My dad's suggestion was to check the belt tension, could this lead to it and would it be a valid reason?


TiA!

This will sound dumb but mine had a dirty reservoir and it looked like the level was ok but it was really almost dry.
Shake your car and make sure you can see fluid sloshing. Mine made a weird sound until I discovered that.
