quick steering assembly question
i just had a warranty work done on my car today...they replaced the whole steering rack assembly and my question is - does it really makes weird sound?(like hissing/humming) every time i turn from left to right whether a small turn to full turn?
is this something expected when its new?
thanks guys

11 hours is a lot... should have taken about 2-3 hours. unless there is something really difficult on a newer civic that gets in the way.
anyways... yeah a hissing noise is perfectly normal, it's the sound of hydraulic pressure. i think most of the time ppl don't notice it cuz it's just always there. unless it's abnormally loud...
why did they replace the rack???

yeah it took almost 11 hours...i brought the car at parkway around 7:35am and i got a call back right before 6pm saying that my car is ready...the sound was getting louder everytime i turn from left to right. i'll email parkway again to see what their opinions on this
this was a warranty work - long story and don't feel like typing because im almost late for work

lol. You shouldn't really hear the faint hissing in the passenger compartment.
But yeah like that drew guy said.. sounds like a wheel bearing you might want to check that out LOL

anyways, a lil pump hissing is normal... obviously what you experienced is not. I guess the subtleties of the noise get lost over the internet haha
