I tightened it after making sure the belt was still in great condition! Every time I accelerate it squeals for a split second at 3K rpm in the first three gears...what's the problem?? No leaks or funny steering issues at all.

No leaks or funny steering issues at all. ive had a squeel in first gear from 1-2k rpm for about 6 months. and it goes away after i drive it for 5-10 mins. always been there. kinda gotten use to it. just dont care anymore. |

your power steering pump might be on the way out making the belt slip. OR your belt may have been glazed from all the slipping. Try getting a new belt.

see and feel the belt for cracks, if they are good, you can try belt dressing it helps for a while, I'd say replace the belt though since they are cheap.

Had the belt changed today. It seems fine but I am skeptical about it. I'll post up if I have any more noises. Thanks guys.
