Check your power steering fluid, it's more likely that you're low on fluid - I believe your belt would squeak if it either needed to be replaced, or were too tight. Tightening it won't help.

When your low on fluid it makes more of a whine than a belt noise. Tightening the belt can stop a squeal.
Anyways. There should be a tensioner on your power steering pulley. Your gonna need to loosen the bolt on the pulley then tighten the tensioner.

Low fluid can cause a squealing noise, though usually it will groan and not squeal.
A loose or worn/glazed belt will squeal.
There is no tensioner on a S series pwr steering pump, you have to loosen 2 bolts and pry the pump, then tighten the bolts.

Lagos, that doesn't help for tightening the belt....
That is for rebuilding and checking the rack.
There was JUST a thread on here about how to tighten, do a quick search and it should come up.

take a 2x4 of wood and stick it between the power steering reservoir and the valve cover, pry till its tight. thats what toyota told me to do over the phone...

i got so used to driving without p/s so would it matter if i took of the p/s pump, belt? i dont think i can go back to p/s on my celi
it wouldn't hurt it man. i drove without a belt on for the longest time. i got used to it too and i kinda liked it. you feel really ''connected'' with the road.

I absolutely HATE the power steering setup on the 3s/5s...seems so, primitive.
You'll have to get under the car and pry the pump up while tightening the hinge bolt.
