Steering rack OEM Subaru or OEM Honda
Reviews
Original damn near everything apart from steering rack and shocks. I also have had a semi permanent bed in the back since 2021 and travel around Australia sleeping in it so it carries a lot of weight. If you look after them, they will look after you.
Pros: original parts, durable
Cons: steering rack and shocks replaced

A friend of a buddy of mine has a '12 WRX and he did a 2019 STI rack swap on it - I was able to test drive it for an evening and I love the slightly harder feel and tighter turn.
Pros: slightly harder feel, tighter turn
Vehicle:
Subaru
Ik rij een Civic E-hev. Vandaag is het onderdeel onder garantie vervangen. Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik er nooit last van heb gehad. Ik vermoed dat dit probleem in de VS vele malen groter is dan in Europa. Of ik heb gewoon mazzel gehad. Ben nog steeds erg blij met deze auto. Rij bijna mijn leven lang Honda, deze rijdt eigenlijk wel het fijnst van alle elf die ik heb gehad.
Pros: never had trouble, drives the nicest
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
S2000. I love everything about the NSX, the seats and looks especially, but I didn’t like the driving experience. Drove the NA1 NSX a ton and hated the heavy and slow steering rack. It was actually impressive how heavy it was, and required hustling the wheel on the canyons.
Cons: heavy and slow steering
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
I have a ‘23 Accord Sport L and I hate it. I mean it’s nice and all, but everything is just so bleh. No soul, it is an appliance. With that said I’ve done 55k miles in about a year and half with no issues. Steering rack or bushings just started making some noise I gotta bring it in. I hear steering racks are an issue on them.
Pros: no issues, nice car
Cons: steering rack noise
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 88513 km
I drive a 2015 Honda City and had the steering rack replaced about 2 months at an authorized Honda service center. It was making noise and had excessive play. Now, barely 1000km later, the same *issue* is back. The noise is there and just as loud as before.
Cons: noise, excessive play
Vehicle:
Honda City
Mileage: 1000 km
In my case the recall was completed on my FL5. The clicking started 2 weeks before my appointment but now the clicking noise is getting worst everytime when turning left or right.
Cons: clicking noise, getting worse
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I just got the sticky steering recall done.... only because they can void your registration given its a safety recall.... but now im upset because it was completely fine, and NOW its no longer tight when i put it into sport mode, now the sport steering feels like normal steering.... idk what the exact deal is here, but i do wish i could revert or gain that spring back i think they repalced because id like to have that back because it was 100% fine and normal in normal mode, only tighter in sport mode which i expected and loved
Cons: lost sport steering tightness, steering feels normal
Vehicle:
Honda Civic

Cons: sticky steering, driving me bonkers
