First question I have is the hub and bearing have anything to do with steering?
but here is the problem...My car which is a 94 Honda Civic SI (197,009 KM)...seems to be strugglin when I turn left or right...

Basically when I trun left or when I turn right, it gets very difficult to steer in either direction, I dont have any feel to the steering wheel, its like when turnin the car in that direction it feels like it the wheels aint goin into the direction I Steer towards.Plus I hear this odd grindin noise almost like metal to metal contact when turnin left or right.

This car does have power steerin, but my guess was that it was the steering rack but another person told me the hub and bearing is the problem...

So what do you think is the problem with the car and what are my options?

 

Sounds like the rack. Have you messed with your axles lately? Check your drivetrain. Jack up your car, turn ur wheel and see if it still does it..
