Every time I put a new ps or ac belt in it squeals, even on the 2.2L engine. Then I have to tighten it the next day and maybe a third time. I think it just stretches. I am afraid to make it too tight the first time cause I think it puts too much load on the crank pulley and you know how that comes apart.

I ask everyone in my family to turn everything off before the car is shut off. This takes all the belt loads off the engine when it's started the next time. No one ever remembers to do this So that dosen't help much.

I used to think the Subaru belts were better but I have had them squeal too.
