Power steering belt squeal

So after my timing belt skip fiasco I ended up getting my power steering belt replaced also.

I already know it's the ps belt that's making the squeal, I just need to know if I have to tighten it or loosen it, because it's only making the noise at the very end/lock of a full turn left and right.

Most likely too loose. Also, may need to bleed air out of PS pump?

this should be fairly obvious if you push on it with your finger, but chances are you need to tighten it,

it should be snug.....but not so tight that you could play a tune on it

I avoid full lock, even on my 13s EPS system.
