Any idea what this squeaking is?

Z_ealot · 06-27-2015, 06:13 PM

Sounds like its coming from power steering pump, but i did a flush of the power steering system already so not sure why it would be squeaking, also wiuld like to note that the squeaking goes away after the engine warms up a bit

The thought crossed my mind about the belt, but not sure if it's the original belt as i havent been able to get a good look at it yet, and to answer your other question im sitting at 130,000

Sounds like the belt to me too. Z_ealot, have you tried spraying belt dressing on it in order to rule it out?

not yet, but i will try that...just wanted to make sure it wasnt something like a power steering pump needing to be replaced.

jchammond · 06-27-2015, 06:54 PM

remove the belt (while cold) and turn and feel each pulley,,also ck. for play...feel for rough or excessively loose bearings..listen closely.
also-you may want to use a factory Nissan Belt-as some other's may not go in grooves properly & still make noise.

GZ3 · 06-27-2015, 07:16 PM

Yea sounds like a sqeaky belt or pull to me

Z_ealot · 06-27-2015, 07:31 PM

Well i did go ahead and spray a little pb blaster lubricant on the power steering pulley, seems to have quieted it down, but i will see what happens after giving the engine a few hours to cool down, probably will be stopping by the nissan dealer to pick up a belt sometime this week

jchammond · 06-27-2015, 07:54 PM

better call and see if they stock one; our dealership had to order one for me & also had to order my factory wiper blades.

Spooler · 06-27-2015, 09:54 PM

Replace the belt, then go from there.

having same squeak noise.

TreeSemdyZee · 06-28-2015, 11:55 AM

If you are on the original belt at 130,000, then you're way overdue replacing it.

Here's the one that I bought. $30 cheaper than my dealer.

For those that don't want to read and are into making assumptions, this is a Nissan belt, not an aftermarket.
