Default Squeal when turning right

Ok, yet another problem...
Had the water pump and belts changed out now when I turn right only if Im moving there is a squeal... This only seams to happen when turning right and doesnt do it when the car is parked... Any thoughts on what this could be?

Incorrect tensioning on the serpentine belt would be my guess.

How hard would it be to adjust the belt? Im taking it would be the belt for power steering that needs the adjustment...

Strike that, I have a better idea that seems much more likely. Since the P/S pump was removed for the t-belt service, the pulley was probably set at an incorrect tension when it was reinstalled. Your best bet is to take it back to the shop and tell them to fix it for you. There's a bolt you turn to adjust the tension on the pulley and it's more or less trial and error.
