2001 Hyundai Elantra squeals 1. upon start up and then goes away, 2. upon locking the steering wheel in either direction. Squealing only happens in cold weather. When locking the steering wheel (any direction) PS pulley and belt hesitate, like a stop n go rotation. Tightened belt a few weeks ago and problem went away. Weather got colder, problem continues. .
Could still be the belt. I've had cheap belts squeal, and an OEM belt works perfect. A worn out belt can do it too. If you can do it yourself, go ahead and plan on replacing it.
Check the power steering fluid
SOURCE: recently replaced all belts in my 2001now get squealing noise
belts in right pulley position? and air can cause squeeling
SOURCE: i just had my belts
check the tension. cheap belts will stretch. if after you retension them (especially the alternator belt) you may need to replace them with BANDO or OEM belts.
SOURCE: why does the power steering pump drive belt squeel under load when its cold on 2004 hyundai elantra.
this sounds like the belt is worn and needs replacing.when its damp and cold if the belt is worn it will slip easier under this condition than in warmer weather.also the belt tension may not be proper.if this has a belt adjuster that you can adjust then the tension may need to be tightened.if it has an automatic belt tensioner(one that adjust tension all the time)like a serpintine belt then the tensioner may need to be replaced as the spring that crates the tension do get weak over time.
