(IMG:style_emoticons/default/s12.gif) Hello everybody

This is the first topic I post on this forum and I'm hoping to get a lot of help from you guys, my problem is a squeaking or squealing noise when I turn left or right either running or parked, apperantly after certain amount of time in use it stops squealing, I checked the fluids ( power steering, oil, transmission, etc. ) and everithing seems fine: I recently replaced the Drive Belt (First time on this car) because it was squealing too, the replacement of the belt solved the problem on that case, is there a belt i need to replace on this regard? The van is driveable so far but I'm afraid this will only get worse, so I need your help guys before something terrible happens, please HELP!!!

ok ok what happen was that I didn't put enough tension on the drive belt which was causing the steering to get harder and making the squeaking noise, thank you guys for being there though, I'm sure I'll come back soon with some more questions, see you soon!!!

Welcome to your 1st Forum Post. You did rather well in adjusting the tension correctly on your belt. On a new belt, sometimes it's necessary to re-adjust the belt after 45 to 60 minutes of use. Another little bit of information for you, Don't use Belt Dressing on your accessory drive belts! It will actually cause squealing later on in time. If you have an old dinner table candle or stick candle, use that on each belt to determine which belt is squealing. Candle wax is also the best belt lubricant. In dealing with Power Steering problems, Remember that the power steering pump puts out the most pressure at idle (so you may turn your wheels easier), at higher speeds, the power steering pump puts out less pressure for one doesn't need too much power steering power on the Interstate to change lanes and the such.
