DRIVE BELT KEEP COMING OFF BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE BAD DRIVE BELT TENSIONER OR.DRIVE BELT IS TOO BIG. THE POWER STEERING PUMP LOCKING UP LACK OF POWER STEERING FLUID OR PUMP WORN OUT.
Check to see that no bolts or mounting brackets are loose causing the power steering pump to be out of alignment with the rest of the pulleys. When replacing the belt make sure it is seated correctly on the pulley because if it is one ridge off it will cause the belt to shred very quickly.

If the belt keeps slipping off the you need to replace the tensioner(its the pulley you have to move to get the belt on and off,and that part should be inexpensive to replace from any parts store.

Hi!!
Just apply some ENGINE DEGREASER on the belts and pulleys, rinse them with plain water, making sure the electrical components don't get wet. That will take care of your problem.

If you have a 4cyl then the belts for PS and alternator are separate. Taking a peek under the hood when the engine is running should give you a better idea if a belt is slipping, broken, etc. A common source of squealing is an alternator belt that is too loose and slips under heavy load charging the battery after startup. It's possible that some sort of problem happened due to replacing alternator belt but that belt slipping should be pretty easy to see. (again ... speaking of the 4cyl / 22RE enging)

Try to look into the fluid level of the power steering pump to make sure it has sufficient fluid.
If the belt is slipping, the power steering won't function very well.
