Ok so im drivng tonight and i get on the highway and get it up to about 60mph gradually and hear a squel so i let off and coast and then give it a little gas.Then I hear it agian. I continue driving and it goes away for a littel bit but comes back at around 60 mph. Could one of my belts be slipping.I cleaned my engine the other day and after i degreased it i sprayed stuff kinda like tire shine over my engine bay to shine up the rubber parts and stuff that looked dull and may have goten some on the belts.
 
Replace your power steering & accessories belts. And in the future, avoid spraying them with silicone or any other lubricating substance.
 
Check and see if they're loose first. If they are you might as well try and tightening them first before you go off and buy new ones.
 
I agree with XIOCA. Try tightening them first before buying new ones. The couple of dollars you save isnt much but it can get a couple drinks.
