I changed my power steering belt 'cos the old one had worn out(expired may be), since then whenever I turn the steering fully I hear this squeaky noise and at times the steering wheel hops****** as I try to turn fully.

Did you buy a good belt and not contaminate it with anything like oil when installed? Is tensioner providing good tension to belt? The skipping means pump is slipping on belt(pulley stops momentarily)
