may have problems with the car, need help

1) when i stop the car on D but not moving, i can hear weird spinning noise maybe from the timebelt in the front of the car?

2) when i go over a big bump, my rear suspension gets squeeky. Does this mean i need to replace the shocks?


thx

spinning noise could be anything. water pump, radiator fan, torque converted. best thing to do is get a friend and while one of you is in the car the other one look in the hood.

as for the squeeking noise may not be the shocks. on the springs there is like a rubber dampner i believe of some sort if that wears out it can cause squeeking. Most likely coming from the springs

^^ the squeaking is most likely a bushing.

See if the noise in the engine gets worse with the AC on. If so, the AC pulley may be bad. This is a common problem with the VQ engine.

If your seat is squeeking, you just need to re-torque the four bolts that hold the seat down. To do this, take off the 4 caps that cover the bolts. Loosen all four bolts and then re-tighten in a criss cross pattern. I had the exact problem last week and the squeeking went away.

I don't know about the noise from the engine. Can you be more specific? noise worse when engine is cold? You may need to investigate more with a friend as jjyellow suggested. Or wait to see if the noise gets worse, which may be a bad sign but it'll help you pinpoint the problem better. Sometimes these little noises get fixed on their own...too much humidity or dry air, who knows..
I have the same problem with my rear sedan's rear suspension; it makes a soft noise when I go over the bumps, but it's hasn't gotten worse, so I left alone. The problem may also be from the rear door. Check out the folowing links to infinitihelp.com: http://www.infinitihelp.com/ and

They have lots of bulletins and recalls depending on the year of your car.

regarding the engine noise. I hear it every time i stop at the red light so the engine is warmed up pretty well. It just sounds like a belt that is lose. Thats why i thought it may be the timing belt but then, does that get replaced at 60k and my car only has about 28k. This happens everyday, so I dont even know if this is normal or not?

Regarding the noise from the rear suspension. Its has nothing to do with the windows or the door because the noise isnt from there. When I go over a bump, it sounds you are opening a extremely old door and the hinge is making that EEERRRR sound.

1 more problem that I forgot about. When i first start the car, and just about to make a left or right out of my garage, the front or under the car makes a :BONNNINgg: noise. This is so annoying and it was always there when I first got the car. THe noise only happens the first 1 or 2 mins after i leave my garage

Nothing to do with the a/c because i tried turning it off and on. The noise is still there when i stop the car and the car is on D.
