The symptoms of a failure of the steering of the river are squeaks, noises, heavy rotation of the steering wheel. Under suspicion could fall ball joints, tie tips. But after a thorough diagnosis, we conclude that all this - still steering rack. This applies to all vehicles. In this paper we consider the repair of steering rack for Honda Civic. First we need to remove the battery and air filter. The air filter is removed together with the body. Then dismantled the cavity. Should pay attention to the bracket with a clip that holds the bundle of wires. Take it off carefully, otherwise it will break. Then in the car to unscrew the bolt kardanchika steering shaft.

Replacement to be all worn parts. Then, when everything is ready, begin to collect steering rack. Graphite grease is a good alternative to the factory. So use it better. The rest of the assembly will take place in reverse order. Should pay attention to how the wheel is installed.
