so I noticed on my first drive after getting the motor in that I had a suspension knock or tick. Long story short the inside of the steering rack on the passenger side is loose causing the passenger tire to wobble. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Is it one of those issues that I need to buy a new rack? I haven't done one of these before and I would like some knowledge before I go ahead and fix this problem.

 

what do you mean the inside of the steering rack is loose? have you already isolated the issue to within the rack itself?
if not, have you been able to inspect ball joints and tie rods? definitely worth getting under the car and having a look around for any worn parts because these are generally pretty cheap and simple to replace

 

Yeah, im not getting your question... Bad inner tie rods will make the wheel wobble at highway speeds. Bad rack gives off a swooshing sound when you turn the wheel.

Sounds like you should jack up the car and start pulling at anything with a rubber bushing, Feel play? That's the culprit. And check for play in the wheel by moving it in the 9-3 and 12-6 positions like a clock. 9-3 would be pointing to the rack

 

Look at the first part of this recent thread: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...-leak-3288439/

You should take the boot off and check for looseness in the ball and socket joint of the inner tie rod end (Honda calls it a steering rack end). That part can be unscrewed from the rack and replaced separately if it is the problem. Also grab the end of the rack bar itself and see if it is loose in the rack housing. If that is the case you'd have to replace the whole rack. Both of these checks start with taking the boot off.

 

Thanks mk that's the answer i was looking for
