Hello All,

I have a '92 accord LX. When its cold in the morning and I start it up and drive away, I've noticed that the steering is often very stiff. This morning it was in the -5 to -10 range, and as far as I could tell the power assist was completely gone. Over about 20 minutes of driving the power steering comes back little by little until all is normal. The power steering pump was replaced about a year ago (+/- 15k miles). Any ideas?

is your powersteering fluid old? it might be freezing.

 

Thanks for the tip...it may be, I've never checked it. How would I do that? and How would I replace it? I assume genuine Honda fluid is recomended.

 

i don't acutally know how to replace it. But, yes you need honda fluid, theres something about it that it doesn't like other fluids.
