The car drifts from side to side. It's a split in the subframe where the rack and pinion bolt to. I'm pretty sure this is the problem I just wanted to get a 2nd opinion from other techs. TIA.

 

I am guessing that plays a major roll in the steering issue.

 

I would say.....ummmm, yes, what happened to cause that?

 

Jesus Christ, fix that ASAP' that is the subframe as you mentioned!! i don't know if yhou know about a subframe role in a Monocock framed car but if you don't do a search, it play for a lot in the rigidity of the frame ! damn !!

 

Ur left wheel must move a hell of a lot. Did you have ur springs cut or somthing?
Very bad. Fix right away.

I hit a super huge pothole in Baltimore, MD. You should see the tranny, oil pan, and headers.

If I hold the steering wheel really tight and I accelerate it pulls to the right and if I let off the gas it pulls to the left. I'm always counter-steering. I did not have my springs cut, just smacked a huge pothole.

 

Swap that out for a good used unit before it totally breaks.

lol, welcome to my world Well, before i did my bushings anyhow.
And i would definatly have to agree that thats at least 75% responsible for the crap steering. Hey, while your at the yard you should try to pick up some 90-91 teg or civic ex hubs/rotors since your gonna have to align it anyhow

I did that already about 2 years ago so no need to do it again, they're still fine.

 

Well, here's an update, I finally found time to chang out my crossmember and found more cracks!!! I guess these Place Racing mounts and 300k+ mi on my crossmember will tend to make cracks huh?

 

sheeit, thats kinfda scary to think u were drigin on that swiss cheese

 

Dude, if that is happening in your car, I should take a really close look at the Rally Civic before my race in two weeks....

I have the Place Racing front cross member, does anyone build a better rack cross member??

I would highly suggest it no matter what mileage is on your car. What surprised me were the cracks where the rear motor mount was. I only saw the one underneath at first. I'm glad I had my camera in the car too.

 

wow.. kinda scary.. let us know when it gets fixed..

It's been fixed since Saturday.

 

Holy crap!! Glad you got it fixed

 

Mine broke but not in the same area, had it replaced and got the ctx aligned and now my steering is way better...
