91 Civic Wobbly Steering Wheel and Wheels?
Suspension problem on a 91 Honda Civic Hatchback? Ever since I purchased the vehicle second hand in 2003, there has always been that wobbly feel when driving at low speeds (mainly in the alley's where the road is not smooth). In 2003 the shock and springs were changed along with some new tires and the wobble was still there, although over time, the wobble is greater and I do notice that the inner side of the tire is worn out more, but when replacing them with new tires, the wobble is still there.
I have had 3 different mechanics checked (one was even a tire place) and no one can find issues with the bushings or anything with the front end suspension. I have checked online and read that to check bushings, ball joints and even replace the tires. Keep in mind, I have no wobbling when I'm driving on smooth surfaces (main streets and even at freeway speeds as long as there's no gravel type roads).
My car is lowered about 1 to 2 inches, but the wobbling was even there before it was lowered. There are types where I'm driving on the street and there's that "bump" (not speed bumps, but more skinner road imperfections as if there was a weight lifting bar on the road) that I will drive over at 40 mph and boom, you even hear inside the car as if my shocks aren't working, but all three mechanics say my shocks are good.
So yes, I'm a little lost right now on why my wheels and steering wheel feels and sounds loose when driving slowly in the alleys or gravel type roads.
Has a Honda Dealer checked all four tie-rod ends and the front lower control (A-Frame) bushings? There's no way in heck lower A-frame bushings and tie-rod ends last 23 years.
- Trunk door latch loose and wobbly, door won't shut? I'm not even really sure what is holding the latch in if there are no screws there? Bough an 03 Honda pilot ex today. Anybody know what kind of screws go in there or whether I can just go to a mechanic or have to go to a dealer? I bought it from a private party
- Will a steering wheel off of a Honda Odyssey fit my Honda Civic? I have a 2002 Honda Civic and need to change the steering wheel to another stock one because the brackets in mine are destroyed, I can't find one in my area and was wondering if a odyssey steering wheel from the same year would fit, and if the airbag from my Civic will line up with an odyssey wheel, so that i don't need to go buy an airbag
- Does power steering fluid get hot if the car is just running and the steering isn't being used? If the pump is just spinning, recirculating fluid and nothing else… Would it still get hot? I had to bypass the pump from the rack and have the fluid recirculate. Would the pump get hot from just spinning? I know 8th gen Honda's don't have a cooler for the power steering anyways.
- Why does my 2014 Civic Si have red honda badges on front and back and on steering wheel? I bought a new Honda Civic Si from the dealership and the guy said that it was one of 10,000 models of that year, it looks nice but i want to know how accurate this is. Why does it have red badges? And why does my engine cover look white instead of black like they are on other Si's? Please answer!
