Hello everyone! I have a 1993 accord ex with 194,000 miles on it. Recently I noticed I have some play in my steering wheel and some odd vibration going 40mph. It only has play when I jerk the wheel to the left. I can move/turn it about 1 or 2 inches where as when i jerk it to the right i have very little. I recently did the front strut/spring assemblies and stabilizer bar bushings... It also is VERY sloppy while driving at higher speeds. Could it be a CV joint or rack and pinion?? Any help is very appreciated!!!!!

 

I would inspect the rack-N-pinion for any loose bolts. I'd also check where the steering columns bolts to the rack-N-pinion at the bottom of the pedals in case the pinch bolt backs out or something.

 

Check the tie rods. The boots always fail on accords.

 

Sounds good thanks guys. I am also going to check the driver side sway bar bashing too because now that I remember that one seemed funny when I put it on. Like it didn't look right so it could be messed up too...

 

The Tie-Rod boots are called Power Steering Bellow's Boot just in case you're curious what to call them.
