I have a 95 DX hatch w/ a D15b. All stock except for Skunk2 Coilovers and sway bars all the way around. The car has no power steering, but the steering always feels EXTREMELY LOOSE. I mean to the point i don't like digging into turns much. Its real nice and stiff when im sitting still and driving slow. But once i get up into the rpms and mph it gets REALLY LOOSE. Its actually kinda scary. Is this common on the EG. Or should i buy a PS pump and put it on there? Will that help? What are my options? What else could it be? Any help would be grand. Thanks for all the help guys and gals.

I've got a 92 DX Sedan with a D15B7 and I've got power assist. Easy to steer like power steering at low speeds but tightens way up at higher speeds. All I can think of is double check to make sure you have power assist or not (you should) and if you do... I guess check your fluid.

Has it always been this way?

 

There is no power steering at all. The entire pump is gone. Not sure if it was taken off or just not ever on there. Yes it has always been this away.

Without PS it should be too tight. So it's hard for me to just tell you to get a PS pump and problem solved. You can either get a free inspection from a shop (Midas and Meineke do it free, at least in my town they do) or buy a PS pump from an auto salvage for cheap (probably no more than $30) and see if that helps. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

 

Check your inner and outer tie rods for play. How old are they? Your steering rack may be shot or going also.
