Hi I am new to this site. I have a 2002 ep3. Mostly stock with wheels and tires. Resonator delete and a muffler. My problem with it is either the belt tensioner pulley or the steering pump pulley/assembly itself is shot. It makes a really loud knocking noise that started as a squeak and you can even see the pulley for the steering pump wiggle around. I have been searching for steering pumps online and can only find them for non Si models. My question is will one for an rsx work for me since we have the same motors? Thanks for the advice sorry if its a dumb question or if im in the wrong section. Please help either way.

The ep3 has electric power steering. The RSX has hydraulic. The EP3 k20a3 has an idler pulley in the place of the power steering pump found on the RSX k20a3. So no, the RSX power steering pump is not going to help you. Sounds like either the idler pulley or tensioner is toasted. If you post a picture of the pulley you are talking about, I could tell you
