I used to drive a 2003 RSX and the steering response was wonderful. It was tight without any free play. Now I have driven a 98 Civic Sedan and currently a 97 Hatchback. The steering has lots of free play and is not as responsive as I would like it to be. Does anyone know how to correct this problem so I can reduce the steering ratio? Do I have to change the rack to a better one, say for instance that of a CTR or an Integra Type R? How about bushings? Any information is helpful. Thanks.

Thanks Nub. What about swapping in an entire different rack from a CTR or a ITR? Anyone know or has experience with that? Thanks.

I know the CTR bolts right in... the ITR will prob. fit as well but not sure. It's not hard to swap - just a few bolts and twisting your body into a pretzel to reach everything under the dash!!!

 

get some nice tires, will help A LOT

 

poly busihing would help also

 

Nicer tires helps improve the steering response nicely too. Unless you already have a replacement for the SWEET 185/16/65 tires.
