I just installed my front struct/tower bar a few days ago. After the install, I hear this weird wooo sound whenever I accelerated. Can it be the power sterring?? Because I have to move the power sterring hose a bit for the install, or, that's what my buddy at Acura said it was...anyone know the reason??

First, check your PS fluid. If its okay, you could just be going through the install paranoya. That's when you install something and you feel something has gone wrong with your car.

Better check if Bubbrubb installed whistle tips on your car

WOOO WOOOOOOO!

If you're talking about the larger metal lines on the passenger side, those are for the AC, not the PS.

He is indeed talking about the Power Steering (Black Rubber) Line
His CF Front Strut need way during installation.

Which strut bar did you install?

Hey Ben,

When i took my valve cover off to paint it i experienced the exact same problem, it's definitely the power steering.

What I did to fix it was simply remove the cap on the power steering fluid resevoir... it was hard to remove and made a slight hissing sound like opening a can of coke... after i replaced the cap back on the sound was gone and the cap could be removed with ease....

like me you may have affected the pressure in the hydraulic system when moving the power steering hose.

Haha, no, it's not a paranoya. I am not THAT excited everytime I have new parts I got my friend who is an Acura Tech to install the bar, and after, even he noticed the sound as well. He told me it's probably the PS line, but don't know what's wrong with it. I know it's nothing big, but just the fact that its something different I am worry, and it's not loud enough to sound like a supercharger or turbo!! HAhahaha
