Kia Spectra & Hyundai 2008 Power Steering & Alternator Squeaking Belt Easy Fix 

First and foremost, I'm not a mechanic, so if you follow my advice, please understand you are doing so at your own risk.
The Power Steering on many Kia & Hyundai models in the 2007-2010 range have a common problem - the Power Steering doesn't work properly and makes a lot of high pitched squeaking noises, especially when turning the wheel. When folks bring their vehicles to a mechanic, it is often mis-diagnosed as a Power Steering problem, (a costly replacement) only to find out the problem returns shortly after.
That's because the problem is not your Power Steering; rather, it's mis-adjusted (loosened) belts. I don't know why - maybe it's a design problem - but the Alternator and sometimes also the Power Steering belts become looser over time on these Kia's & Hyundai's. When the Alternator belt becomes looser, it fails to properly engage the Water Pump (near the Timing Belt), and then the Water Pump fails to properly engage the Power Steering. Hence, the stoppage of the Power Steering pulley, and the loss of power steering ability - especially when you first start your car or when you are driving and turning at low speeds.
So after a little research, I found out how to easily fix it, and I wanted to share it with all of you, in the hopes that my detailed video will show you exactly what you need to do. It's so easy, even my 18-year old (who is not a mechanic) can do it.
So I hope this helps you Kia & Hyundai owners out there, but if not, I tried.
Incidentally, please don't ask me any mechanical questions - I'm not a mechanic. I'm just a cheap DIY'er. I probably won't know the answer to your question. A week from now I'll forget I even posted this video, much less remember what I did to fix the car. So if you have a question, best bet is to call a real mechanic.
And thanks for watching. Please subscribe and thumbs up - because maybe someday I'll make something off of these videos and be able to upload more. I've got a bunch I've already filmed but no time to edit/upload. So if you subscribe it can really help me out.
