I have recently bought a 2002 EP3 and found some problems this morning when i was driving to work.

There was a griding / squeaky sound (dont really know how to decribe it exaclty) when i steer. It only happen during low speed (below 30km/h), mostly when i was parking. I tried keep turning in a constant speed (5km/h) and the disturbing sound keeps going.

I have heard that there is a common issue on EP3s with the steering rack. Will that be the problem in this case?

Also i will try posting a video or a record of that sound tomorrow.

Thanks

in this case yes it is ur steering rack, if ur in syd i think supersteve went to hannys and got it fixed and all sweet for him, i diy'd it and fixed it up myself just a lil bit of greese to go into the sttering rack should fix it up, common issue, honda really should of thought more when it came to this cause dc5's sometimes get this problem

Could you tell which O'briens you rang for the windscreen. Phone number would be great. I tried our local branch...FAIL.

Why must things be so hard when you live in the middle of nowhere

I'll try and get the number for you tonight or Steve could help you out since I got the windscreen from the same supplier.

i have fitted some on my last car and it was very good and i want to get them for the EP3. the link above is made by a UK shop called Tegiwa. i wonder if there are other brands that make these stuff for our cars. (Cusco doesn't make one for the EP3).

How much of a difference did you notice when you had this installed on your last car?

Quite a bit. The pedal is much firmer and consistent.

This part is 28 pounds shipped here (roughly aud$50). So quite cheapish and I think it's very good value for money.

But I just wonder if there are other alternatives. If not I'll go ahead.
