does anyone have a solution for the bit of steering wheel play i have?it feels too "muchy", like a jello version of a proper steering. I have noticed that newer ITR's have very quick and direct steering, it also feels "tighter", I've lost that. Is it my ball joints? tie rods? steering rack? Should i change bushings? shocks and springs are 3 years old ( illuminas + H&R race), time for new ones? would an alignment do much? Its not that bad, I just want her to be a little tighter. I rarely break 50 miles an hour on exit ramps now or take windy roads like I used to. it's just too imprecise.

thanks for your help Tech gurus!

 

it has a very slight wobble feeling as i go faster , and it seems to react slow to turning, the car almost pulls itself a little left or right, when i am driving, very slight tho.....how can i look for the prob, should i lift it and move wheels, and look at bushings and tie rods
bump, come on H-T people, I don't want to get owned from the acura dealer. without you guys I'm lost!

 

Upper ball joints first, then tie rods. prolly upper ball joints. Jack up car and grab the top of the spindle w/ one hand and the upper arm w/ the other and try to move them <----> to check for slop. Tie rods are done the same way, grab the tie rod, and where it goes into the spindle and move it.
Its most likley one of those
good luck
