well if thats the case. I had the same problem. All it is is a creaking/squeeking noises coming from ur steering rack. It was a common problem back in Europe with the ep3's and most customers had them replaced under warranty. However from what i read on the uk type r forums there was no safety issue with this problem, just a annoying noise. Some people just bare with it as the noise comes and goes for them and some other people got lube and lubed the inside of the rack to stop the noise. I had the same problem and i took it to my mechanic and he said the same thing, just a annoying noise. He went into detail but i cant remember exactly what he told me lol sorry. He also said it was a common problem with the eu model civics (5door hatch) we have here in australia. My mechanic basically hoisted the car, pulled back the rubber on the steering rack and sprayed some can lube inside and that got rid of the noise. That was probably around close 2 a year ago and ive only heard the noise a couple times since then.
