re: Troubleshooting power steering issues

If it is making noise but still working,change the pump. Order it off of Ebay. If not working then you check if it is pumping, if not then it is the rack, that is a bitch to change on a Honda, also pretty expensive. All Honda parts are fairly expensive compared to a Toyota for relevance. I would pump out all the old fluid and then put in new one first. If the fluid is bad, it will be hard to steer as well.
