My Max squeals like a pig!

What's up ya'll,
I recently got a belt replaced on my maxima. I live in Minny (MN) and maybe it is the cold weather, but now it squeals like a pig and is loud enough for people to hear. I think this is a red flag, but it is and what can I do about it?

If it squeals after you check its tightness, its probably the A/C Clutch bearing.

^^ +2 one on my max earlier this year and the one on the 99 caravan needs to be replaced and or bypassed.

With the humity in the 100% in the summers and the nasty salt they cake on the roads it seems like this is a common thing here in minnesota. But yeah mess with the tensioner a little bit. then if that dont work take off belt and spin the A\C pulley there shouldnt be any resistance, it should rotate pretty freely

If it's only in the morning when you start it up, it's probably just condensation. I get that from time to time.
