Drive belt "squeal" is most commonly caused by "slipping." Usually, properly adjusting the belt TENSION will correct the problem. If this does not correct the problem you can try removing the belt altogether, and "reversing" it, and then reinstalling and properly adjusting the tension. If neither of these fixes correct the problem, I would next, replace the belt with a new one, being very careful to properly adjust the tension. If that does't work, it appears [unfortunately] that there is probably a MISALIGNMENT of one or more of the pulleys driven by the belt. If that's the situation, I would recommed taking the vehicle to a good, well qualified MECHANIC.
