i have a 2005 ES5 civic and when i go over a bump i
hear a noise like if a bushing bad. I changed all cradle bushings
and front shocks. The noise is still there and everything else looks good.
the only problem is on the steering rack the left knuckle joint kina shakes with
your hand on the steering rack side. (i was told if i change the joint it won't solve this problem)

1. can this cause a noise when going over a bump?
2. how can i fix this problem?

why if you change the joint the noise wouldnt stop?

the joint is shaking from inside the rack (a guy told me to check the slider in the rack. any ideas on that)

give GPS a call he have a solution apparently the es model has a problem with their racks..

I gave him a buzz and i got a link for his mechanic thanx

yea man no scene

what engine does the ES5 comes with?

mine has a D16W7, it supposed to be more of a fuel efficient economy
type engine but it also performs very good

Cool...

Whats that metal thing between the engine and the radiator?

This is a Vacuum Tank
What the Vacuum Tank does is enlarge the size of the Intake Manifold. By doing this, pressure inside the Manifold will increase (vacuum decrease) on the same degree of opening of the throttle body. With the change in pressure reading, the parameter in the Shift Pattern Map will be breach earlier, making the TCU upshifting or downshift earlier. This will give the driver 'early' power and torque.
thinking of selling the system because i does take it easy now with this car.

check tone in marabella....rack may need adjusting...this is a flaw with this model civic and crv

let me know when u ready to sell the setup partsmaster

sorry for the late update but the problem was the slider guide in the steering rack.
