Not sure..but had a similiar sort of problem with my fd civic,,the problem was power steering fluid was leaking through a crack in the steering rack...Sent it for service...but had to order new rack from Thailand..so they top up the PS fluid as a temporary solution till the rack comes in..problem was solved
yeah, i would say power steering
dude i have this problem too.. is it worst in the mornings when you first start up the car for the day?...Quote:

I think it depends on the service consultant/manager, if you get a tight arse person, then he will try this and that or blame this and that instead of replacing it under warranty.Quote:

Hehe...just got my steering rack replaced under warranty for squeeling noise when stationary they couldn't find it so they replaced it, kept complaining.....thanks to my dealership, they really been looking after me !!
Hey I got this problem to.. every time a honda service dude takes it out for testing they can never feel it...Quote:

do you mean it feels like it locks up?
do you normally turn full lock or just before full lock? could be the steering motor failing.
no particular position.. its happens when i turn or the wheel is turning back to the middle.
It kind feels like when you are driving on tram tracks .. that feeling if you do what i mean

I reckon your your problem is tramlining.Are your tyres worn?try rotating your tyres and or getting a good wheel alignment.Quote:

As tony has mentioned before try rotate and realign might need new tyres...
