Any idea what this squeaking is?
 
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

how many miles on Z,,, i see you drive an 09',if you still have factory belt on it-it may be drying out.

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 05:54 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.

Yea sounds like a sqeaky belt or pull to me

Z_ealot 06-27-2015 06:31 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 06:54 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.

Replace the belt, then go from there.

Need_NewName 06-27-2015 09:00 PM

having same squeak noise.

TreeSemdyZee 06-28-2015 10:55 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.

Spooler 06-28-2015 12:32 PM

I wouldn't buy an aftermarket belt for a Nissan. They don't last near as long and sqeak like hell.

The one I posted is not an aftermarket belt. It is a Nissan belt.

Belt, mine been squeaking for 2 years now, i just spray belt dressing and forget about it till winter.

PS if u hit the gas pedal and squeak goes away definetly belt, if it gets louder might be bearings.

Pretty sure you hit the nail on the head there as that's exactly what happens, i had a feeling it might be getting triggered by the belt losing grip on the pulleys
