Everytime I start my car I get a loud squeak but it goes away after a sec. I know its the altenator belt, but how do I tighten it to make it stop squeaking.

yeh..i got an answer....

on the top of the alternator theres a bolt it can be tightened and loosened, if u look at it when u turn the bolt it will move the alternator forward or backward (away or to the front of the car) ..pullin it to the front of car makes the belt tighter

but u should prolly get a new belt
