anyone ever heard of the rsx making a noise when turning the stearing will left and right when parked...

 

uh ya you may need power steering fluid.

 

I've noticed mine doing that too. I have a completly (mechanically) stock '06, and it makes that sound on the outside wheel during quick sharp turns. It sounds like the tire is rubbing something plastic in the wheel well. The car only has a little over 1000 mi, the power steering fluid is at the recomended level, and the wheels/tires are stock. It made the noise the first time when it only had about 60 mi on it.
I'll check the wheel well this wekend when I have some time.

wow thats crazy.i mean i hear mine once and a whle but my fluid is full too.i just don realy pay attention to it.jus hope nuttins wrong wit my car.its also bone stock too.wit 6k on it.

 

i picked up my car from the dealer today and it was fixed they said its a common problem the 05-06 type s's have
and honda in japan is aware of the problem out here and they are trying to come up with a solution for it
in a sense its like a recall it has something to do with the struts...
but they just said they could lub mine for now untill honda/acura gives them a cure but the noise went away...but i think it might come back..

 

all years have had this problem

What year is your car, the problem was different for the 05 and different again for the 06.

What did they do to your car?

The popping noise should always happen (unless they've fixed it) when you're parked and just turn the steering wheel. It should also happen at very low speeds as in when you're parallel parking.

 

i have the same problem too. it just started up a week ago. so i brought it to honda and they have a new strut comming in for my car. i hope this fixes the sound.

 

If you guys have 2006's I can tell you the struts are NOT the problem.

 

then wut is it then? i had my car well over a week now and im kinda mad about it.

 

its not actually the struts. it the top part of the strut which turns w/the wheels. honda really scrimped on this. there is no bearing, just an aluminum hat rubbing on the top part of the shock housing- el cheapo!

 

Im getting the same damn noise.. i just recently put in ASPEC'S and did the whole overhaul with new top mounts, bearings.
It's driving me up the wall... the thing is, it's ONLY coming from my passenger side.
I would get someone to turn the wheel left to right so you can listen. but .......I think it's coming from the rack, if you put your hand on the outer tie rod, you can feel the vibes.
Def something to do with the rack..
