Steering rack OEM Subaru or OEM Honda

I have a 2023 Sport Hatch at 4,000 miles no problems. I found the sticker with the part number on the steering rack. It is not one of the ones mentioned in the recall, so I think I'm OK. No sticky steering, yet !

Got mine replaced on my 23’ Civic Sport. They replaced the steering rack and we are good so far. Was the sticking an issue? Yes, because it noticeable and it can be very annoying. For a less experienced driver it can lead to an accident if not too careful or if you pull on it with more strength than needed.

I've recently had my 11th Gen sport go in again after experiencing sticky steering. The first time was right around 3k miles, and this most recent time was 13k. While I can express that the problem has been resolved for the most part, it makes me question whether or not it will be covered under warranty after the 30k guarantee. Only time will tell if that's the last time this issue will come again.

Started occuring around 5,000 miles on my 23 Si. Currently at 9,000 miles, and gets stuck very frequently. First started as just a sticky/notch feeling. Now at low speeds you can audibly hear the rack when it gets bound up. Through corners, steering doesn't return to center every time, and on straight aways, gets bound pretty much every 10-15 seconds.

this is starting to happen in the 2023 civic sport, the steering gets stuck a certain angle and its very annoying trying to keep the car straight on the highway. it seems to happen like 5 mins into a drive

I have a 2016 Civic ex-t. It has a bad sticky steering problem. Two different Honda dealerships have checked it. Both say there’s not a problem.

If there's a lot of play or you can see visible leaks, you may need a new steering rack. It happens around that mileage on a lot of these, including mine at 174k. Replacing it requires dropping the subframe and is a PITA for whoever is doing it. 1.5k-2k for a shop to do it.

2022 EX, purchased in Jan 2022, but just began experiencing this issue in Dec 2022, roughly at 7000 miles.

I actually just had this problem and the dealership tech told me it was a faulty steering rack/pinion assembly. Had to get it replaced under warranty. Hopefully that issue doesn’t come back

It started happening in my wife's '22 Sport at about 4000 miles, then we didn't notice it for a while, then I drove it on the highway this week and noticed it again. It's drivable, and using LKAS actually helps make it not as noticeable, but it shouldn't be happening
