Gumboot Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I know...I'm asking car mechanical advice on a fishing forum. Sons 2011 Altima developed a high pitch squeel which I believe is coming from the alternator. It's still charging. Can bearings fail on one of these?

tjm Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 What he said^^^^, squeal could be a belt slipping too, it's easy to spray the belt and see if the noise goes a way. If not, get a 2-3' piece of garden hose or pipe and with one end against your ear stick the other end against/near various parts that might be making noise, the pipe will act like a stethoscope and when you find the noise you will know. Anything that rotates is a suspect, including idler pulleys and water pumps. Terrierman and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinwrench Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Belt tensioner most likely. Hit the tensioner pulley with some silicone spray, and if that quiets the squeal for a bit....you've found it. drew03cmc, awhuber, tho1mas and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I just had to replace an idler pulley that was squeaking on my truck. Cheap easy fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumboot Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Appreciate the advice. It's not a slipping belt squeel, it's got more clunk to it, but I'll check those things out. Going to try the pipe trick as I think I know where the noise is coming from, but longer I listen to it, it seems to travel. I had good luck with a Nissan truck 30+ years ago, but this Rogue has been expensive to maintain. I'm sure being driven by a 17 year old has nothing to do with it. Thanks again.

We had a Rogue that had a lot of problems. Traded it in on a Jeep Renegade that we like and has been trouble free. The Renegade feels like a much larger vehicle and is much more comfortable than the Rogue, which we wound up totally losing faith in after the entire exhaust system had to be replaced with only 30K miles on it. Seemed like it was always something with that car. Nonetheless good luck with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tho1mas Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hey- I bought a new Nissan Frontier 4x4 in 2007. The only wrench it has ever seen is to remove the oil drain plug & a couple of batteries. Had all hoses, belts & fluids changed at the 10 year anniversary. BilletHead and Carl1969 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
