Default Making a whining sound when I press on the gas.

Hey y’all. I have a 2013 lifted jku with 120,000 miles. I recently noticed that sometimes when I press on the gas at lower speeds, I hear a whining or squealing sound. It also happens when I’m slightly turning the wheel and pressing the gas. It only last out 1-2 sec when it happens. And it never happens at highway speeds. Last winter I changed the belts, pulleys wheels, and tensioner. For some reason I suspect it part of the belt system since it’s only present when I’m slightly hitting the gas. Anybody have any suggestions where to start? Thanks

Check your power steering fluid level. Then pick up one of these and poke around a bit when the noise is heard. Do be careful of moving parts, of course. I'd start at the alternator and the water pump.
