Can lack of tire rotation cause steel belt to shift?
No, it is more likely to shift if the tire is rotated in the opposite direction. No, damage from a hard impact or a puncture will cause a slipped belt.
Can tires squeak?
Yes, a "slipped belt" can cause a tire to squeak. A slipped belt is when the belt area of the tire separates from the radial plies of the tire and there is a noise as the two parts rub across each other. If a tire squeaks because of a slipped belt, do not drive at high speed and replace the tire as quickly as possible. A slipped belt will eventually separate causing the tire to blow out.
Why does your 1990 Subara legacy wagon shake while your driving under 35 mph?
If it's a slow, almost rocking motion, check the tires; you probably have a "slipped belt" or a bent rim.
Why would the steering wheel shake back and forth while driving and only at low speeds?
You should take the vehicle to the tire store where you purchased the front tires. Your description sounds a lot like either a slipped belt or a bent wheel. I'd bet on the slipped belt. Radial tires have a very flexible sidewall (radial ply) and a less flexible and tougher tread ply, called the belt. If the material between the belt and the radial plies separates, it will typically slip to one side and only in limited areas of the tire. One way to check for yourself, jack up the front end and spin the tires. Watch for an area that suddenly goes off to the side. If you see that, it's a slipped belt, and if you have a slipped belt, don't take the vehicle on the freeway and definitely get the tire replaced as soon as possible. They're very dangerous.
How do I change the serpentine belt on a 1996 Skylark?
There should be a tension pulley that keeps the belt tight. I have used a ratchet socket to release the tension. The belt can then be slipped off the pulley. Be sure to note the way the belt is wrapped around the various pulleys before doing this. It can be confusing to figure this out afterwards.

It has either slipped off or is broken/cracked. You need to make sure it is on properly or buy a replacement belt.
What would cause 1996 Cavalier 2.4 to suddenly while driving start missing on two cylinders and when coils changed for it to be out of timing but one cylinder fires but others backfire.?
Since the Cavalier is out of timing, check the timing gears and belt. It sounds like the belt has slipped and is causing the base problem with the car.
Your alternator belt slipped off your 99 Grand Am last night how does it go back on?

Removing a serpentine belt from 1989 Buick century?
There is a spring loaded pulley called a tensioner that puts the correct tension on the belt. That needs to be retracted so the belt can be slipped off. I have found using a ratchet socket makes this easy to do. Otherwise you run out of travel room before relaxing it sufficiently. Make sure you know the proper routing of the belt before taking it off, otherwise you will have trouble putting the new one back on..
