Unhappy Power Steering problem?? Help!

I drive a 2004 G35 Coupe and I live in georgia where it's gotten cold temperatures and I have a problem with my car. When I'm driving when it's cold my wheels are making a loud squaking/whinning noise and it never happened in the summer. sometimes it sounds i have a flat tire but I don't. It gets pretty loud at 2nd gear especially when I turn left or right. I checked my power steering fluid and it's nearly full. I feel like it might be a bad pump or hose? I'm not sure but I need help

If you only hear the noise when the car is moving then its either your tires or bearings.


Did it start suddenly or did the noise get louder and louder over a period of time?

It started on both front wheels all of a sudden about 3 weeks ago. but the sound comes and goes. sometimes i'll drive it for a 4 days and won't hear anything but it just will come back starting randomly but tonight was bad

It's not a lose belt because I just checked and they're all pretty tight.

Next time it happens spray a little water on your pulleys, see if that changes the sound. Bad bearings (like on a P/S pump) will typically go bad and stay bad; however belts can squeak on and off based on temperature, humidity, and/or tightness.
My belt used to squeak in the cold, since it was older I just kept reapplying WD-40 (this swells the belt making lubrication necessary from then on) every time it started to squeak until I replaced it.

Oh wow I didn't know that. Thank you. I will spray some water and WD-40 and see how it sounds. I'll keep this post updated until i found the solution.
