The belts need to be surprisingly tight to not come off and not squeal. We used this tool to get to the right tension
krikit belt tension gauge
Googling gets links and videos on how to use it.

Yes, link is dead but I do still have control of that website.
My new UI tools don't give me the same FTP raw access to upload files like I had before. The good news is that there are plenty of YouTube videos covering the same subject.

I'm so glad to find out I wasn't the only person having this issue.
I inherited my 2005 xb from my fiancee with 287,000 miles on it. It had been slipping and eating PS belts so when I took it over, I just cut it off and drove it without power steering.
She needs the car for a bit because her car is in the shop so I have to put one back on and it just feels otherworldly levels of vindicating to find this thread and find that other people have had the same issues.
