Hi,
I recently replaced the Steering Rack on my 2006 Accord Euro under warranty - because of noises it was making when wheel was turned (loud squeaking noises).
Job was done at the dealership, took 2 days, and i was shown the cost was about $1300 for the Steering Rack (covered under warranty). They said there was nothing i needed to do.
Immediately when i drove away from the dealership, i noticed the steering wheel was ALOT harder / stiff to turn (compared to before the Steering Rack replacement). I called back the dealership immediately telling them of this, and was assured it was normal because the rack is new.
Its been 2 days since, and still the same. I'd like to know if what the dealer said was really true ?
If it is harder / stiff due to the new rack, then how long / kms of driving would be required for the steering wheel to loosen up a little ? (cos right now the heaviness is bordering unpleasant... )
Thanks very much.
