Nissan 240sx squeaking problem.

[acslater9]

Hello everyone I have a 1991 Nissan 240sx KA24DE engine and ever since I had my car It makes this annoying squeaking sound every time I turn the steering wheel left and right. It happens when I'm driving and when I'm just staying still.

If you're still confused It's alright I made a video on youtube showing you how it sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smi5KjBglgc

Thanks!

check the belt. may have loosened up a bit. try tightening it and see if it continues.

Thanks, How would I go about tightening the belt?

The power steering pump itself is actually the tensioner. You can see the tensioner assembly attached to the bottom of the pump. You need to loosen the bolt that keeps the tensioner from moving then loosen the actual tensioner bolt. This isn't the best explanation, but if you take a look at the tensioner then it is very straightforward
