i have a honda civic si 2003 with around 35000 miles. Just recentl :lol: y it has been making a weird noise when i move the steering wheel. Its almost like a squeaking noise whenever i move it. I took it to a mechanic and he said it was a problem with racking and pinions. I wanted to take it to the dealership cause i have a month or so of warantee left but my car is lowered and it somehow voids it. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or atleast help me identify it? Thanks appreciate any help.

first thing to do is to top off p/s fluid and with the top off and car running turn the wheel all the way to the right slowly then far to the left a few times and see if that helps any if it does you might want to get the p/s lines checked.....if not come back good luck :)

Top off the power steering fluid. With the reservoir cap off and the engine running, slowly turn the steering wheel fully left and right several times. If the noise improves, have the power steering lines checked.

The owner of a 2003 Honda Civic Si reports a squeak when moving the steering wheel. A mechanic attributed it to the rack and pinion, and the owner is concerned that lowering the car may void the remaining warranty. An expert recommended topping off the power steering fluid, cycling the wheel lock to lock with the cap off, and checking the power steering lines if that helps.
