Need help. squeel on start & when turning Options

[mandrek]

yup the topic tell's it all, i washed the engin bay once. then the squeeking started. but it is only when i turn on the car, and i turn the steering wheel. that's it.
even when the the car is warm.

i've used the prestone belt dressing, and it left. but this week (w/ high humidity down here in the DC area) it came back...

do i need to WD-40 the bearings on the pullies? or somthing??? what can i do


thnx in advanced for all of the help.

There are rails to adjust those belts on. Check if they're loose, and if so, get your metric wrenches, jack it up, and go to work. Make sure you have a breaker bar/prybar, and be careful what you pull on. Don't overtension them either, it will wear the bearings unevenly and you will need new belts/bearings/pulleys, depends what goes out first.

Belt dressing will wear off, mine were so bad at times that they needed dressing on every startup/run.

Also, turn off the AC/fan if it does it on startup, it may be that belt too.
