I have on-going issue with my alternator belt loosening over time and eventually breaking. Yesterday, it broke for the fourth or fifth time, and resulted in a tow home. I don't know what I'm doing wrong installing them. Seems straightforward enough and the belts seem okay a first for a few months, but they eventually loosen, start squealing, and finally break. I never seen this happen on any of my other vehicles. I first noticed this problem when I first bought the car two years ago. The belt was loose and flopping around when at idle. I had the owner tighten it before I bought it and drove it home. That was a *several* belts ago!
I must be missing something.
Anyone have some insight to this?
