Squeaking sound after belt change

[Garlic]

Hello everyone,

 

Recently changed timing belt and 3 other drive belts.

 

Been experiencing occasional squeaks on the expressway and during full lock turns thereafter. Squeaking sound is exceptionally loud during full lock turns (both directions).

 

Could this be due to improper installation? There were no squeaking sounds prior to change.

 

Thanks.

Most probably. Better to get it checked by the same mechanic.

Your power steering belt tension not enough. Go back to the mechanic who did the belt, just tighten will do.

 

Not that the mechanic is no good, belts do stretch a little after running in.

Squeaking sound can only mean one of the pulleys is not properly tightened.

my ride's belts tend to Squeak only when i 1st started the engine. be it day or night...

does it means that they need to be replaced???
