FG2NME · 02-16-2008, 01:58 AM

i just noticed lately when i'm at a standstill when i move the steering wheel in anyway i hear small clicking sounds almost like a very soft but noticible creaking sound...it never did that before so i just wanted to see if anyone else is having that problem....

Hmmm, I thought I was the only one who noticed this. I have never researched it because it is not the first car I heard it on. I also heard it on non Honda as well.

Sorry I could not be of more help, it probably has been answered before on here somewhere though.

I have this problem too. I know what's causing it. It's in the area where your cruise control is at. If you press the back and the front of the side of the cruse control, it will stop it. I took it in to the dealership but they didn't fix it since it came back.

Hmmm, maybe I am hearing a different noise. Mine sounds like workings of the steering rack/ column mechanism. Very fait, yet noticable just like OP described while turning the wheel either moving or still.

My 06 EX and my 06 Si both made a slight creaking noise when the wheel was turned at slow speeds. Both car's (the EX last year and the Si this week) both had the "cable reel assembly" replaced under warranty.

i still hear it if i do fast turning, but still it sounds like its coming from the steering wheel column, its starting to really bug me this time.

The plasic around the steering wheel cruise control buttons is loose and it creaks and groans (much like more and more of the plastic in this car is doing).

The dealership replicated it, claimed they fixed it...nothing was changed.

Lol some dealers love doing this. The dealer wasted about 3-4 hours of my time fixing my Civic awhile back,and it turned out it was a small problem but they fixed it,but still..it pisses me off too because they give some people loaners but i never not once got a loaner from Front Range Honda EVER!

ok...so i get in my car this morning, and creaking of my steering wheel get even worse...not like its about to snap, but its more noticable.

i was thinking that because its never like that when its warm outside...it just all recently happened...and it's been abnormally cold...so i'm hoping its that..my suspension creaks when its cold but goes away when the car starts to warm up...so like u said...i hope its the weather.

dorkiedoode · 02-17-2008, 07:31 PM

im starting to notice mine too. every time i turn it to the left and bring it back it make a little creak sound. this is retarded. Also my suspension creak too when i go over speed bump or bumpy road.

salvagecorp · 02-17-2008, 09:53 PM

just take it to the stealership and tell them the problem

fg21221 · 02-17-2008, 11:10 PM

when im at a stop nd turn the wheel left to right it clicks once as soon as i turn the wheel left it will click once then to the right same thing, its like its from the steering rack or soem thing, sound comes from the front end. i think its been like that since i got the car tho it dont seem like ne thing is a problem tho

FG2NME · 02-18-2008, 03:20 AM

i just took it to the dealership today and this guy hopped in my car checked it out and said " i think its the cold weather" !!!!!!!! WTF!?!?! whats it? 45 mins of waiting for that, no putting car on the lift, no wheel removal, not even a drive to the bay...he did it in the effin dealership parking lot and basically said your not important enough...

***Special Ringpop*** · 02-18-2008, 03:29 AM

Welcome to my life, FG2NME. Two hours of waiting at the dealership just to be told they can't replicate a problem or didn't hear the rattle/squeak/dying cow that I hear daily.

FG2NME · 02-18-2008, 01:23 PM

i think im gonna go to another dealership..the one where i live is pretty crappy..

HondaTune · 02-18-2008, 09:03 PM

For me, this was the problem of the plastic piece at the bottom of the steering rack, I just ripped it off

Truplatano · 02-18-2008, 09:22 PM
