Alright guys, I may have a small problem with something in my steering. When I'm going straight down the road, and i start to turn the wheel just slightly (1-2 inches) the steering wheel shakes slightly. Like it pushes back against the way i'm steering at least once, sometimes twice. It doesnt happen all the time, which makes me wonder if i'm not just being paranoid. ANyone ever experience anything like this?

Oh yeah, its a manual 99 Civic EX Coupe....

 

what wheels and tires do you have? suspension mods?

 

Stock wheels and tires. No suspension mods. I have that full set of strut bars, but i dont think thats whats causing it. I could be wrong though

 

is it like the power steering stops working for a second?

 

Sounds more like wot was happenin to me, I got the wheels re balanced and the problem stopped
Try this before u spend big bucks

 

Thats what i figured, i think i'm just in need of a balancing.


The motion of the steering wheel is comparable to when i switched from performance tires to winter tires in my old Jetta. WIth the winter tires, it was just a little loose feeling..

 

might sound stupid, but check air pressure in the tires, if one is lower than the other it will cause the car to pull in that direction.

 

check you power steering fluid lever COLD. happened to me in a 91 lincoln continental

 

thats what i was thinking. it'd be like one of your corners being lower than the other and would cause that
