Squeaking when I turn the wheel...I've owned 3 EG hatches and they've all done it...usually more so when it's cold out...

What is this and what's the fix?

ntensehonda

Anyone?

ntensehonda

Seriously, can nobody answer this question...

ntensehonda

up for an answer

monicle

I know what you mean but i dont know what it is. sorry. bump

ntensehonda

well thanks for the bump...I'm just wanting to know how I can cure the problem


I figure it's maybe the boot down on the column or something, but whenever it actually does it, I don't have time to go searching for the noise.

Not really an answer to your question, but it doesn't sound like anything a can of WD-40 couldn't fix.

You would think that if you have had 3 of them do it, you would not be so lazy and find out for yourself.

ntensehonda

Thanks for calling me lazy, but I thought that perhaps if someone else has gone through this and diagnosed the problem, then perhaps I won't have to take time out of my day managing a store to tear into it myself. Isn't that what this forum was created for, or am I mistaken? I was under the impression that H-T was here for people to help other people and share things about their cars...maybe I just assumed too much...

NOW, does anyone with the intelligence higher than a sack of potatoes have an answer for me, or does nobody know what actually causes this?

civic_driver

the fix is a bag of cocaine, as a friend used to say :/

ntense, could you post the solution once you figure it out?

thanks man!

handa

bump this up.

my steering column clicks when i turn the wheel back and forth...could be related to boot joints.

civic_driver

handa, like your mixes.. nice

ntensehonda

handa,
The clockspring for your airbag is loose...that's what the clickingis all about. Unless you know very well what you're doing, you should take it to a professional to get it fixed.

ntensehonda

still lookin for an answer

Try putting a little grease on the knuckle, half way or so down the column.

ntensehonda

eh, that sounds like a plan, but I think that it's related to something a little higher up in the column...

dpkelly

If it's higher up, it's the contact for the horn. I know this cause my horn quit working when I thought I "fixed" it.


If you try oiling it, your horn will probably not sound as loud. Just grin and bear it.

ntensehonda

That's a new one...perhaps I should use some lithium grease...that should be what's in there from the factory....good call

when i had my EG's i saw it was just the back of the steering wheel rubbin on the column cover? mine was just minimal rub from that. dunno how serious yours rubs?

dpkelly

You just have to remove the upper and lower covers to see it (very simple fix).
