"screeching" noise heard when I turn left or right - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I drive a 91' 240sx automatic tranny and was wondering if anyone could help figure out why I hear a screeching noise when I turn sharply left or right. It does not happen when I drive straight, although sometimes when I accelerate fast I hear it again, any advice would be appreciated.

Get a new power steering belt, or just tighten the old one. Also try and wax the belt.

hahah at "do not wax the belt"..sorry timing in my head made it funny

anyways if it sounds like you are mutilating a cat under the hood even when u are going slow, suspect the PS. Check fluid levels first, then look to see if/where it has leaked
