Replaced belts still get squeal from ps.
2005 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE. I just replaced the ps high pressure hose, belt tensioner assembly, drive belt and ps belt among other things. I get the squeal when turned to extremes. Also while in park, when I turn the steering wheel, it makes the noise like when you have no ps fluid. Fluid level is good though. Anybody have any suggestions? Could this be a problem with the ps pump?

sounds like a worn ps pump.
I would replace the fluid first and see if that helps. |
Make sure you have the correct tension on the belt or it will squeal....ALSO I use dealer belt over after-brand.....

I just changed the high pressure hose, so the ps fluid is all fresh. I was thinking it might be the pump. Sometimes when it's cold it groans when I turn the wheel in park. I used Gates brand belts to replace both alternator and ps. The tensioner bolt and (for lack of a better term) tensioner bolt housing are both new as well. So I might have it a little bit too tight. I'll check all this out here in a little bit. Thanks for the help guys.

Is this the first belt you have replaced? I would go get a deflection gauge because likely you didnt get enough tension on it.

I get that too. Only when my a/c is on it squeals real loud. and i recently replaced the same belts
Yours sounds more like the drive belt is too loose. My problem has to deal with the ps belt, not the drive belt. |

I resolved the squeal from the ps belt. I went with the method of being able to twist the belt halfway over in the middle. It had loosened up a bit. Thanks for your input guys. I'm looking to replace the ps pump soon. Hopefully after that turning will be fluid, like it should be! :D
