u know when u turn ur wheel goin on a curve or soemthing and u let it go...it starts to turn back around, well wit this accord 5 speed, when i'm goin on a curve and i turn the wheel, i can actually let go and the car will keep goin on teh curve perfectly....sint' the wheel suppose to spin back?

 

engrish?

 

Okay, I think he's saying that when he turns the steering wheel (while driving) he can let it go and it won't move (re-align itself so the car straightens out). That's my best guest but I only speak limited ghetto canadian, eh.

Anyway...have you lost power steering or is it just sticking like this?

 

hhaha....sorry, i thought it was pretty clear....yea that is wat i'm tryin to say...that it dones't straighten out by itself

 

even if you lose power steering the car will straighten itself out. It has to be something else.

doh! thats too easy, it COULDN'T be that.

 

would it be alignmetn? if im goin on a straight road and let go of the wheel...the car drives straight....so i dont htink its teh alignment

i was thinking the tires....but they are stock tires wit the 15 inch stock rims

 

my absolute guess?? somthing to do with ur steering column.. maybe there's some bad beerings in there dat need lubing up with some heavy duty olive grease...

 

Check your ball joints, if one is seized the car will not return to centre. The best way to check them is to remove the outer tie rod from the steering knuckle and try turning the wheel it should be easy.

If that stuff is set wrong, but it's the same side-to-side, then it won't pull.

Could be seized ball joints, or a seized rack. Lift the front end & see if the steering works nice & smooth. Without extra friction. We can't tell that from here.

 

when i turn left it happens all teh time....if i turn teh wheel to the right...it happends sometimes...but sometimes the wheel straightens out

dunno if that could lead to anybody giving more solutions
thanks

 

ur power steering rack could be going out... sometimes those pistons inside get stuck and you need to move em urself... have all ur steering components checked out
