Steering rack OEM Subaru or OEM Honda

OEM Subaru Steering rack

I have a 13 WRX, had the 15+ sti steering rack for 2 years now. I think it feels much better then the stock one! No issues with TC or VDC.

Pros: much better feel, no TC/VDC issues

I have the same issue with my 2024 Civic, and the dealership told me everything is tight and that I don't have to worry. They also mentioned that this issue is present in all Civics that had the steering recall work done, which makes no sense at all.

Cons: unresolved issue, dealership denial

After the steering recall on my 2023 Civic Type R, I immediately noticed a slight clicking sensation and faint noise when turning the wheel left or right and letting it return to center. The clicking doesn’t happen throughout the full stroke, just during the return-to-center process. The dealership confirmed the noise and movement. After the recall procedure (syringe grease method for the EPS gearbox), the clicking noise was still present. They determined that replacing the entire steering rack is now necessary to resolve the issue.

Cons: clicking noise, steering movement

We just went through this. 3 dealerships and no joke atleast 10 visits. 2 dealerships said the car was fine and safe to drive. We had the recalls done, but the issue was still present. At the 3rd dealership they diagnosed it immediately and said the car needed a new steering rack. They overnighted the part and the car was fixed today. It’s running perfectly now. What pisses me off is, the ran the part under the Honda Care Warranty I made my kid purchase. Yes, I know, waste of money. It’s his first real car and being it was a used car I was overly cautious at the time of purchase. The car is a 2022 civic touring. Wouldn’t the steering rack be covered under warranty as that part has a known fault. What would have happened if I did not make him spend the extra money for the Honda Care. They stated something was broken within the steering rack as the wheel made a noise when you turned it. The car also would swerve while driving at speeds over 35. The lane assist would jerk the car all over and the steering had dead zones which would cause the jerking while trying to stay in lane. I know I should be happy the damn car is fixed and I don’t need to hear my kid say he’s gonna die driving it everyday as it swerves on the road. I do think the cost should be on Honda and not my Honda Care warranty.

Pros: running perfectly now
Cons: faulty steering rack, wheel noise, car swerved, steering dead zones, warranty issue

I’ve been having this issue for a year or so and only recently has it started getting worse. ‘22 sport @ 100k miles. I noticed it on the highway a long time ago when making small adjustments to stay in lane. Like initial resistance to break the wheel free before it would actually move. Now it seems to be happening during left turns, it will bind and basically hold the wheel in place and I’ll have to break it free to get to center properly.

Cons: sticky steering, binds and holds wheel
