The belt on my 2004 Explorer xlt (w/32000 miles) just started to make a squeaky noise. I try belt dressing and stops the squeak for a moment but comes back. I think the belt needs alignment. Can someone tell me how to align the belt?

Thank you

The serpentine belts align themselves more or less. Check the belt tensioner for good tension on the belt. You will need to replace the belt now that it is full of belt dressing. Clean all pulleys with a little carb spary and be sure the grooves are clean
