I had my pressure hose go out, then the rack go in a similar situation to you (a little leak turned into a blown out rack). go get a zf rack, and replace the hose (sadly, they both cost about the same, and it's not cheap). i've been running solid since then.
Wow, adjusting the steering rack tension made a huge difference, car feels way more responsive now.
Most VR6s came with a ZF brand steering rack which uses different length tierods than ABA engined cars which mostly came with TRW steering racks.
I wish I had gone bilstien but its a pretty basic component so either should work fine.
I have narrowed the noise to the steering rack itself. It is a Meyle rack. 171419063. It has been on about a year and a half. I'll try tightening the pinion torque a smidgen tomorrow to try to solve the problem. I don't notice any play in it.
2022 EX, purchased in Jan 2022, but just began experiencing this issue in Dec 2022, roughly at 7000 miles.
I actually just had this problem and the dealership tech told me it was a faulty steering rack/pinion assembly. Had to get it replaced under warranty. Hopefully that issue doesn’t come back
It started happening in my wife's '22 Sport at about 4000 miles, then we didn't notice it for a while, then I drove it on the highway this week and noticed it again. It's drivable, and using LKAS actually helps make it not as noticeable, but it shouldn't be happening
I have a 22 Si I recieved in April 22 and experience it. Dealer is going to replace the rack and motor but as mentioned they are on back order.
I will say, as an owner for a 2022 Civic Sport, my steering has been feeling a hair sticky while driving straight and if i touch the wheel it feels like it was stuck in that middle position. Not sure if I am showing early symptoms. I am at 4800 miles and it started around 3000. Will be taking it to the dealership soon but not sure if they will even tell what I'm talking about.
