Agreed. Then you have a choice of the ones 309 has on his Python. They are available in the market. Else I can look for you here in Karachi

So yesterday I went to Honda Classic in I-10 to get the steering feed pipe changed as called by Honda. I faced this issue back in September 2011 and got it fixed then. The steering was fine then and the oil level wasn't dropping but there was noise in the steering which grew in the winter season. Whenever I used to start my car in the morning, the steering would make noises while turning as if I am driving some bulldozer.

I called Honda for time and they asked me to being my car around 3 pm on Thursday. I was there well on time and without any delays, they started working on my car. It took them around an hour to change the pipe and the best thing is, they charged me nothing. According to Honda Classic, they are changing pipes of around 12 to 15 cars everyday. It means many people are facing this issue.

Opening the silencer/exhaust pipe to make enough room for hand and tools to remove the pipe with ease.

istafa111 (istafa111) 2012-01-13 07:37:33 +0500 #474

Pipe goes in place, exhaust back on, just a few more rotations to the screws and it is done...

Bzzzzzz Bzzzzz... The space ship is landing...

istafa111 (istafa111) 2012-01-13 07:46:42 +0500 #476

The noise is all gone. Steering is smooth and silent. Back to Honda Civic from CAT Bulldozer.

Nice share!

They were replacing this "steering feed pipe thing" in newer Civics as well :S? 2011 :-#?

istafa111 (istafa111) 2012-01-13 08:36:37 +0500 #478

Nope. Only 2006-2008 model Civics.

So I should stop hearing to the sound that just has started resonating

istafa111 (istafa111) 2012-01-13 09:19:33 +0500 #480

Hmmmm... There is a sound when you rotate the steering to the extreme right or left and apply some additional force. If you hear that sound all the time while rotating the steering even by 10 degrees, then there is a problem.
