If there's a lot of play or you can see visible leaks, you may need a new steering rack. It happens around that mileage on a lot of these, including mine at 174k. Replacing it requires dropping the subframe and is a PITA for whoever is doing it. 1.5k-2k for a shop to do it.
Cons: prone to leaks, difficult to replace
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
Mileage: 280025 km
2022 EX, purchased in Jan 2022, but just began experiencing this issue in Dec 2022, roughly at 7000 miles.
Cons: experiencing sticky steering
Vehicle:

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
Cons: faulty steering rack
