wow! great info! I wonder if you could send this to the NHTSA bc this affects newer civics and CRVs as well. They released a TSB for the newer cars but 2016-2021 nothing
It is a great step you have done for everyone...Can I have a reference link to the forums where you are discussing this further? I used to own an FE 2022, which has encountered repeat failure of this part and frankly I sold my beloved car a few weeks ago out of sheer frustration. Honda has done nothing to address this, if you can say 2016 to 2025+ year make across different models have this problem. They have neglected customer safety and satisfaction, while just replacing the defective design with another similar one.
Jared - curious what is the programming of the new steering wheel rack required for? Is that for zeroing out the alignment, or tying it to your ECU etc? thanks!
So I was mistaken on this. There is only a need to program if you are swapping the motors. I was informed by a tech to just swap my motor onto my new steering rack and I don’t have to reprogram.
Someone on the forums after watching this did this and it fixed the issue. Do not add new grease, only spread it. Fixed his without even fully removing the subframe so it’s an easy fix
I wouldn’t say lack of grease as I would advise against adding extra. It just displaced throughout the housing. Just needs to be reapplied to the worm gear

Good job bro ! thank you !
Apparently, I only get this issue in warm weather (2016 Civic) , without any noise that I can hear.

Honda just did a recall on 24 HRV for this issue, I’m sure it’s the same problem.
If I change the grease in this gear set, will this steering rack be able to return to normal?

I have the same problem, my vehicle is not under warranty. Did the problem completely go away when I added grease?

So lack of grease is the issue?? My 2023 CRV sticking specially when I turn left.

My 2019 civic has this issue
