Like the title says, my car squeaks really loud when my AC is on. Who else has had this problem before or still have this problem? I think its the Ac compressor. What do you guys think?
+1 on the change both your AC/PS belt and your alternator belt. They wear out at the same rate. Belts can need periodic adjustment as they can stretch out when they wear but a belt that is stretched out is also a belt that is near the end of it's useful life anyways. If your belt tension got loose enough that it squeals that means the belt is likely glazed due to slipping on the pulley in addition to being stretched out.
My protege did that for a while, change the belts anyways there not exspensive, clean any debris off of the pulleys and make sure you got a good tension and you should be good.
As freedomgli said once the belt is glazed its pretty much trash.
If it's not the belt it's the compressor. Mine would whine really loud... until it finally died.
