Hey, just a question.
After some light-medium off road my 2014 D22 power steering has been playing up. It's hard to describe but I'll try.

When under load (dry steering) on grippy surface like Tarmac the steering makes a whine noise and locks up at half a turn, on gravel/ grass it turns like normal without noise until full lock.
When at full lock on any surface it makes abnormal screech/ whine noise.

Eg, if coming out of parking space, so get the steering you must begin driving.
If I force the steering once locked, after two or three turns back and forth I 'break through' the lock, only to lock again at another half a turn.

I've read several power steering posts but they don't seem to describe the issue i face.

If anyone has any idea or has had this happen please don't hesitate to comment :)
Thanks heaps!!
 
Sounds like belt to me too. Take it straight to Nissan, they have to fix it under warranty. Whether they just retention the belt or replace it is up to them, but let them sort it out...
 
Ok awesome :)
Thanks for replies and help

Can't wait to get more knowledge to be able to input on this site too

Cheers
