Do the V groove shaped belts such as for power steering require a different tension check then reg v groove?

its the small ones with big Vs in it like old belts had for my power steering

1. no not really.... pretty much check and tighen the same way
2. just replace with the same as it was but sometimes these V groove belts are noisier to operate!!
3. A good rule to go by for any belt is 1 inch movement. In the longest space between pulleys move the belt up and down. 1/2 inch free play up and a 1/2 inch down is the proper tension. If it's a new belt check the tension every 1000 miles or so. New belts will usually stretch some.
