I was thinking with 100k on the odo, is it worth my time to list the car and get under it with a torque wrench and check and spec all of the visible bolts?
Just wondering... I have some time on my hands, and I was thinking it might be time well spent. The steering feels a little loose, and there are some squeaks and rattles.
Thanks!

 

Once again I am no tech expert. However
It never hurts to do every a little preventive maintance on the car. I mean you do have 100k on the odometer.

Chances are the bolts haven't loosened. Just ask anybody that's tried replacing a header, exhaust, suspension, or tearing a motor apart. They're usually tighter than spec.

But it's a good idea to crawl under there and have a look around. Sometimes I'll just hang out under the car for no reason but boredom alone.

You don't get to enjoy the view of your car from below very often.

You can do something about the steering by adjusting the big nut on the steering rack. Kind of tricky to do, but I hear it makes a big difference.

 

When you say adjust the big nut - explain? I've honestly never really looked at the steering rack, so I'll have to search it out. A friend with a new Integra says my steering feels loose compared to his. Will this improve steering tightness? What do I do, just tighten it up a bit?

 

I like working underneath my car! Get to see all the projects that I've worked on...

I'm running out of stuff to do, ugh!

Eventually I'll just go there to reminisce about the good ol' days when my teg was a virgin.

 

And I thought I was the only one!
