I'm done.. enough is enough!

My power steering pump is extended as far as it'll go and she still squeals on a cold startup. Power steering resovior is full. This is my 2nd belt.

Is it safe to buy a belt a size or two smaller? Any recommendations?

Thanks

mac here, also measure / bring along the old belt and see what's up with the " end of the adjustment deal" ,do get preferably an OEM and if for some unexplainable-weird reason :tisk: it truly needs to be "smaller" GET a SMALLER belt because a replacementpump (may have been installed ), which may be fine, probably has a smaller diameter PULLEY ! :rotfl So ,in that case you gotta try - should work - the correct "New" ,but smaller :yesnod size ? Don.'t forget to "brakleen" wipe all the associated pulley "grooves" . Glen 11/18/2017 :cool:
