So my 7th gen civic has this issue where the steering feel so sloppy and always go side to side depending on the road. Took it to alignment and all the wheels are in green zone. My control arms are brand new even though i was having the issue before I replaced the control arms, but after I replaced it I still have the issue. Tie rods are new as well, ball joints are on there for over a year now but they are no issues with any of the listing parts. For some weeks ago I can hear this noise coming from the front right wheel when I lock all the way to the left, only, but not sure what causing it, my mind tells me it could be my rack and pinion. check out this link for the sound.
What year did they start using electric on the Ep3 civic? I swear I saw one online yesterday and it say it was compatible with Ep3, Em2 and some other Acura.
So I just check my service manual for rebuilding instructions on my rack and pinion but I was unable to see any information on it. All it shows is to remove it. So if anyone has that information or can provide me with that instructions I would appreciate it.
Well, I didn’t. I only look where it said section 10-1 and that’s what I saw. It shouldn’t be hard to disassemble it and put in new seals and put it back together though.

Honestly, no idea what you're looking at. Section 10 is for engine cooling in the service manual. Download the service manual from the link below and open the .pdf that's the largest. Then go to 17-39.
I could take a picture and show you so you could see for yourself. Before I look, I check the topic for what I was looking for and that’s exactly what it show me, 10-1.
So after I opened the link, it shows links for some 7th civic but the one I click on for me it won’t give me option for any pdf instead it shows zip and under zip it shows open in a picture app I have on my phone so it won’t work for me.
These are what I get after I click on it so it won’t work
I was wrong earlier when I mentioned that my service manual was Haynes. It’s that chilton stuff I have. It’s so damn complicated to me. It doesn’t show any page 17 ,18 like others. It shows like 1b-7, 0-9, 10-1,2c-5 and so an.
I have to take some time and look through it to find out if any other part in there for reseal my rack.
I saw user manual disc on rock auto , not sure if it’s video type. Or just the same in writing instead.
so I just trying to repair this rock and pinion but I’m wondering how to take off one end of the rock pinion so I could get to change the seals. I have picture of one where shafts goes to the steering not sure if that’s the end should be hit with a hammer and separate it. I also take out the ring fro the other end thinking it would come out afterwards but I was wrong. Help me
I look in the service manual I have ( not a Honda type service manual) but i can’t seem to find anything. I saw a page that mention about rack but it’s nothing about taking it apart. I figured it out and took it apart. Thanks anyway. There is a seal that down inside the house that I cant seem to take out and if I should use a seal puller it would be soo difficult to get the puller to get under the seal to pull it out. The reason why I want to repair the rack is because when I’m driving I can’t literally feel the steering going left and right in my hand on some road, took it to check on the alignment and everything is fine. My ball joints are find. Hun and everything shocks struts are fine so my only other option is the rack. When I unclip the metal clips from around the rubber Boots I have oil coming from all of them. That tells me that there are leaks in the housing of the rack.
