I'm about to pull the rack and pinion out of mine tomorrow and see what got messed up at the last autox. Got a spare and all new Moog tie rod ends and OEM rack bushing. Then, the GSR is going in in the next couple of weeks.

Did you replace the struts? Could they be blown?

I would be willing to bet the hubs are either wrong or machined wrong. Return them and check the new ones.

why don't you start a new thread? going to get a lot more answers than bumping a thread that is meant for talking about new things that were done to your car.

sorry, but i would have figured that out of the hundreds of people that are probably on this thread, one would have gone through this and could provide answer or just general suggestions instead of starting new threads for something that one person could possibly answer...

I understand. wasn't trying to be a dick, just thought you'd get more help that way. not sure about your bearing issue, but the stud issue is common, most people will put a single tack weld on the back just to keep it attached to the hub.


on topic, started pulling my poorly seat pan swapped dark grey/blue integra seats apart to swap the cloth onto some light gray torn up teg seats i have laying around, since these look better with my si rear seats.

Changed my fuel filter. For some reason it's a PITA every time. I don't understand it...also removed and cleaned the filter on my Injen CAI and changed my spark plugs. Discovered oil in the sockets where the seals are leaking...order a valve cover gasket kit with spark plug seals...it should be here tomorrow. Once I'm confident that the issue is fixed I'll change the plugs and wires again.
