Default Belt problem

For the past 2 or 3 months my belt keeps slipping off the pulleys. It only happens when i turn hard or do doughnuts. I've changed the belt several times, and i dunno what to do, it annoy's me that i can't do doughnuts, i mean i can but the belt will slip right off which leads to loss of battery life and power steering. Any advice?

I dont know for sure, and this may seem like a silly sugestion to some, but is there a way it could be on backwards? I am only suggesting this because I have worked on nissans (yeah, I know boooo) that had the same problem and I turned the belt backwards and it didnt slip off anymore. Also is there a pully that is not tight enough?

Time for a new belt tensioner? Also make sure all pulleys are lined up and all bolts tight. Try doing doughnuts in reverse &see if the belt stays on. lol

Yes check the belt tensioner but if it seems oksometimes I find that one of the power steering bolts has sheered. It was a problem and they even changed the design on later models and police models.

maybe you should stay away from donuts, i dont know why they are even called donuts, besides that the tires are round and so are the donuts

I don't know, don't you think if the belt falls off while doing doughnuts, if he does doughnuts in reverse then the belt will probably become too tight and break off some of the pullies, and that'd get damn expensive!

Yeah. I doubt doing doghnuts is the cause, but he may be winding the engine much higher than normal while fooling around, and cause belt problems to show up.
