Default Out of alignment alternator help

Guys I had it with my GST ever since I bought it I just cant take it to the freeway. The damn car overheats, and the now is starting to squeak the alternator belt. It seems that is out of alignment, I already added some og the belt adhesive but no stop on squeaking. What do you guys think I should do? I already did a search and nothing.

Is the belt tight? If it is, you may have bent the arm connecting to the alternator, and youll need a new one.

check and make sure the crank pulley isnt walking off the inner part. If your car overheats on the highway that usually insdicates a clogged radiator or lean fuel condition. Maybe just a bad thermostat.
if thats all thats got you fed up ill gladly trade you cars, you can take on my headache

I'd start by checking the O2. Find outif you're running lean (That will do the most damage out of everything it COULD be). Then tryreplacing the thermostat then if that doesn't fix the overheating go for a cooling system flush/riadiator rodding or new radiator.
