Civic X (10th Gen) Steering Issues

[TheUninvited]

so far ok naman after adjustment. alao they checked kuno the eps and wala daw errors. iniiisp ko kung saan pwede ilong drive eh.

Ahhh.. So walang sound yung sayo pag sagad? Kase once they hear it, no need for errors.

And the EPS light won't turn on for this particular issue of the Civic FC.

*Ironman,

Pina align ko din sakin kase fresh from casa off-centered din sakin eh.

Dapat less than 1k KM odo for the alignment warranty. Although green na sa report, di pa din centered, so pinatira ko sa Servitek.

Manual adjustment na lang para gitnang gitna.

Seriously?? Sana pasok pa din, nakaka 2k palang ako eh. Pero hassle if di na covered. Oks lang naman if i pay pero sana minimal

Magkano inabot sa Servitek? Hindi ba ma-void ang warranty sa Casa dahil sa labas pinagawa?

Wala siya nabanggit about dun sa alignment warranty. Will have it checked nalang

600 sa Servitek. Warranty will not be voided, alignment lang naman.

For EPS replacement, the best daw sa Honda Pasig. Dun nire-refer ng kagroup namin yung may eps issues na member namin.

For simple mechanical rattling from normal wear and tear, there is actually a very simple fix. You just need to tighten the rack guide by 1/8 turn (40 degrees to be specific) and your steering is good as new. Don't listen to the P80K replacement offered by the casa or the P5k "overhaul with engineering plastic bushing" BS offered by roadside hacks.

There is a rack guide adjustment service and a special tool (PN: 07AAA-TL2A100) from Honda that makes this in-situ service possible and quick - less than an hour if the mechanic knows what he's doing. There is no need to bring down the subframe or align wheels after. Only the bottom cover needs to be partially bent down to perform the procedure.

This "rack guide" (by Honda's lingo), "yoke", "preload", "slipper", "half-moon" (in local lingo) adjustment is present in all rack and pinion steering systems - hydraulic or EPS. So this applies to non-honda vehicles as well.

If your unit is relatively new, by all means claim the entire EPS assembly under warranty. If not, this simple rack guide adjustment should buy you some time before a replacement. You can probably get away with one or two adjustments before the clearances become too big to be mitigated by the adjustment. Greasing the rack guide port and the rack itself also helps. Use tacky (NLGI grade 1 or 2) lithium or calcium-based grease as normal mineral grease would degrade the rubber o-rings and plastic bushings/gears in the EPS unit.

Is this true for all early models? The ES is well known for this issue.

So this is the P5K EPS fix being offered to me in Banawe last Saturday. May naririnig kasi kaming alog sa may front tire.
