    To me it sounds like the front wheels blocked but the rear ones no, I would investigate the braking system.
    At the back of the car, attached on the axle there is a distributor for rear brakes, investigate see if is working properly.
    Hope it helps.

    Hi there, do you have the same tyres front and rear? A mis match can make the road holding "interesting".
    And not too old, or low tread depth - I mean nowhere near the legal minimum, on winter type tyres it makes a bigger difference as I am lead to believe to do their job they are supposed to be binned at a much deeper tread. It makes sense - shifting water / snow / mud takes depth.
     
    I know lots of people have no clue what tyres are on their cars, all 4 different, and there fine, but then some people turn radios up to make the noises go away too.......
    Or a mate of mine who couldn't feel a mis-fire on a 2 cylinder 2 stroke motorcycle?????
     
    Are your rear shocks ok? Not bouncing around, as that will cause lack of road holding and adhesion too.

    Try to find your model in the link below. It is a manual with pictures and detailed texts which I found very useful.

    What I do, is turn the engine clockwise and pull the belt, there is a tool for that but I never really needed to decide buying it.
    I can see the crankshaft pulley even with the cover on so it is not fully covered...I will investigate the length of the belt/s, I couldn't find a model without air compressor so I can only assume the accessories belt was an improvised match, try measuring it and find a smaller one by 2-3 mm, should stop the squicking.
     
    Hope it helps.

    Hi, there is no tensioner for the steering belt.
    The squick could be because the inner wheel arch cover is missing?!
    The belt at some point was replaced with few mm longer one, I had once a difference of 2mm and was squicking( different car)
     
    Also, if the compressor was removed a different accessories belt was fitted, could be that squicking?! again wrong size.
     
    Hope it helps.
