I have run into this twice before,and it DOEShappen. There is not much you can do because there is no adjustment or way to shim this item. But look at the alignment of the belt on the pully and all pullys to be sure it's the alt. causing this squeal. You should return it to the store for replacement and dont let them tell you "it's the tensioner" or "the belt is worn out". I have replaced both of those and still no change. The pully is probably on too far. If they wont trade out with you, ask for your money back and a core alt. so you can go somewhere and get a good part, or, you can try to shim the pully by making a shim from some thin metal or grinding a washer to thin it down,but there is no guarantee that this will work or for how long. The parts store has you over a barrel and keep going back until they get it right. Good luck.....

1993 mr2 na has over 200k miles on its engine and the engine keeps squealing you think its the alternator belt but that just got replaced and it only squeals when i accelerate any ideas on how to fix?
many bad mechanics will put belts on tighter than specs or even ignoring specs thinking that a new belt should stretch which is wrong. Take your mr2 back to them, what you are hearing is the bearings in your alternator screaming bloody murder and from now on only take your mr2 to someone who is experienced with the Toyota mr2, it is an easy car for bad mechanics to screw up

The alternator is not charging the battery, therefore, the coil is getting it's charge only from the battery.
I had a weird noise when I was turning my car tightly and I could feel it My alternator just went and I just replaced it and oddly my car now turns fine Could a bad alternator cause that?
It probably isn't the alternator since it only happens when you turn the car tightly. Usually that would be caused by the steering hydraulic system due to a worn rack and pinion gear or power steering pump.
