Anyone else experience a high pitched squeeking noise after their pulley install??? Ever since I installed mine, I notice this loud noise coming from one of the belts or pulleys when my fan kicks up. But it's only when my fan is turned on for heat or a/c, and it goes away as soon as I shut it off. Anyone else have the same problem or know what is wrong??

Install note, If the shop says the power steering belt is not long enough, They can adjust the high of the power steering pump. There's an adjustment there for it.

So here it is!

I think everyone who has a cls should go buy this 35 dollar mod tomorrow! Deff the best bang for your buck when it comes to mods for our car. I dont know why anyone would buy the UR pulley for that price, I had the masta tech from gm put mine on for a 100 bucks and he said everything look and seemed fine. The stock pulley is a big chunk of heavy iron, compared to this one. Huge difference!!! I ran my car after i picked it up against a 2005 g35 6speed (293) (270lbs). Had him by a quarter panel up to 125mph then i poped out of vtech switching into 4th around 130mph i hit vtech again and passed him at 140mph. all from a dead stop. Race was crazy!!! Just take my word for it and spend the 35 for the pulley and 35 for the belts and have fun with it.
