Hi guys . hope you all are good , guys my car tie rods were loose so i changed my complete steering assembly with both outer and inner tie rods from a local dealer. sometimes i can hear a popping sound from the right front side when i hit a speed bump or when i am going through un even roads. yesterday when i was in my garage i turned the steering wheel clockwise then anti clock wise and during this movement i can clearly notice a popping sound from the steering assembly . so what do you guys suggest me that are my tie rods bad again ? or whats the problem . car in question is civic 96

 

i would check ball joints first.... thats just me

 

guys any more suggestions ?

 

Ball joints, outer tie rods. Those are the only things I would look at, make sure they are nice and tight. If you're unsure just take pictures and upload.

 

guys the sound is similar to this . kindly give your suggestions thanks

 

woodpecker?

 

check that the P/S belt is tight 2nd check there is adequate fluid. 3 adjust the steering rack. could be that the pinion gear is binding with the rack guide.

 

check for excessive play in the steering column shaft and cross joints. Wiggle the rack against the housing, check for excessive play. Check rack end bushings and rack guide.

bump. guys give me your valuable suggestions . has any honda owner faced a similar problem ?

 

Axis11 and I BOTH gave you very viable suggestions....why are you not listening ? I just dealt with something like this....turned out the p/s belt was loose

 

sir i have checked the power steering belt before. i will recheck it today and the noise comes when the car is in stationary position and sitting in garage. however it can be felt when you go through un even road or hit a pothole

 

the only reason I said belt was because I had that issue look at what we suggested here(see quoted posts)

 

ok sir i will do what you have said. tommorow i will take it to my mechanic for a closer inspection
