For example if i hit a small bump on my right front tire the steering wheel will veer right. It is a really annoying problem. I know the car is light but there must be something i can do to help. Here's my setup.

91HF, b16 turbo, ys1 tranni, k sport coil-overs set to softest setting and approximately stock right height, 195/65/r15 kumhos.

Any ideas? Do all Crx's have this problem?

 

some bump steer is caused by lowering the car, but it sounds to me like you should check your tie rod ends. They should be stiff, and not droopy or floppy.

 

Yeah check the tie rod ends. Also how much camber do you have??

i had the same problem. i changed out my outer tie rods and the problem is pretty much gone. i still need to change the inners. but another day another dollar.

 

hey i am experiencing the same problem, can u give me a desription on what the tie rods are?? I think I have an idea but I just need to clarify.

 

tie rod ends are prob bad. inner or outer or both. and alignment is prob off. 99% of the time thats an alignment prob caused by bad tie rods or just being way out of alignment.

 

it could be the rack-n-pinion, if is to loose the steering wheel will move same as the tires so if you hit a rock or sometimes cracks on the freeway you'll feel that too, all you have to do is adjust the nut at the bottom of the rack-n-pinion that helped me

 

any info on where this nut is?? I want to see if IU can do anything before I go and get a new one put in.

 

I had a similar problem, but it turned out to be the nut backing out on the radius rod end at the front crossmember.

 

Yeah, I got the same problem. I plan on changing all the steering components very soon. The lifetime warranty checker parts are cool right?

hoping that 65 is a typo. inner and outer tie rods worked for me.

 

same deal here....any sort of bump or irregularity in the road throws the car into the other lane...it sucks.

 

you need an alignment.

this may help the thread starter, and is a good way to see if you have caster problems, but it didn't help my 91 Si, it aligned perfectly with the exception of about -1.5 deg camber in the front and it is still hard to keep it on the road.

 

check for steering rack play then.

 

this is what we call toe my friend

alignment = &lt;3
