Pulley Noise

Does anyone here get like a whistling/annoying noise after installing the UR underdrive pulley?

I get this noise when the car is cold. The noise gets louder once i turn the steering wheel all the way on a cold vehicle

did you replace the belt as well? i had a similar sound coming from mine for some time. not right away but developed later. i sprayed some belt conditioner on the belt. the annoying sound is now gone. $4 belt spray FTW!

I had the same issue. Belt spray would immediately eliminate it, but it would come back after several minutes. It actually seemed to be worse when it was warm out (maybe the cold tightens the belt and eliminates squeal?). Now after having had the pulley for over a year, I don't hear the noise anymore. It just seemed to work itself out I suppose.

sounds like a problem with your powersteering, i just got the recall performed on the ps pum and hoses, after experiencing the same issues, now it sounds perfect you might want to make sure that acura has performed this service.
