drain the fluid put new in it should fix problem

Was an alignment performed after the steering rack was replaced? This could possibly be causing the issue on sharp turns if the alignment is way out of adjustment. Hope this helps

Have u checked the fluid level?

I have the same problem with 2007 mdx and I've had the system flushed many times, replaced the pump and just Thursday replaced the rack and still have the noise! I'm absolutely livid! I contacted Acura and they're no help at all! It's not under warranty so this all has come out of my pocket!

go on Acura.com under contact us in call customer relations I have the same problem I took my 07 tsx to the dealer 3000 dollars to fix it crazy the rep frm customer relations said if they get so may calls they look into recalls I just one person but u call then others maybe something can get done

If it only shakes while driving, you have a tire problem. Most more than likely you have a tire balance problem, but there is always a chance one of the tires could be separated. But usually a separated tire will cause the entire car to wobble at low speeds, such as while driving in a parking lot.

Most likely the steering pump or steering rack. Try the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.RockAuto.com or www.autopartswarehouse.com for the replacement parts.

Are the hoses wet? I would check the clamps on the low pressure hoses 1st, then see if the high pressure hose is wet. Have someone turn the wheel while the car is running and in park, while you are looking under the hood. You'll see if you have a leak.

I doubt that you need new shocks, and if you do i would use genuine Honda parts.

Hi Tom, my answer is based on the majority of what I have observed over my years. Shocks and struts are probably the most oversold component these days because of habit and because of the repair shop culture of merchandising / selling as much replacement parts as you can when the vehicle is in for anything. Back in the day, shocks and struts did go bad alot, even in 50,000 miles some of them were really wasted. Technology has evolved a lot since then and shocks were constructed with much better wearing materials like teflon seals and special coatings and the shocks and struts started lasting longer, a lot longer. So, the 100,000 mile figure does not mean degraded shocks and struts but still means that an honest mechanic has to make an evaluation as to whether they should get replaced or not. A look at the struts to see if any oil is seeping out and staining the outside of the shock housing is still a valid way to measure if they are good (although not reliable 100%) and the basic bounce test, have a heavy person knee his weight on each corner of the vehicle and jounce the suspension and the suspension should rebound back up just once and should not continue to bounce. I have been a firm believer in using the Genuine OE parts on some "special" vehicles, by special I mean a vehicle that seems to mean a lot more to the vehicle owner than just your standard car owner who rarely if ever does any preventitive maintenance. On any car I own, if I were going to replace shocks or struts I would only use the genuine OE replacement part over an aftermarket brand like Monroe for example. Monroe makes a great product but I have found that the ride will be firmer than OE which sometimes gets a complaint when the vehicle owner drives it after installing Monroe products.Some people will like the firmness and others will still think something is wrong. If you use OE parts you can be siure that you will keep the same ride (other things being OK) as you had when it was new. Another item that plays a huge role in ride is the tires. I would not use any other tire except a Michelin, and likely one of the top Michelins also (Michelin also has their good, better, best) as the tire condition and brand / quality changes the ride substantially. Ultimately it is your decision but maybe you will seem more informed coming from a very picky and observant old tech like me. OE shocks or struts will cost a little more than twice the cost of aftermarket, example OE Acura strut around $160 each front VS aftermarket about $75 each (this price is you buying online for example). The rear shocks are a little cheaper. Good luck.

Try the many on-line auto parts sources, such as; www.RockAuto.com or www.autopartswarehouse.com for the replacement parts - such as the shocks and struts. Both OEM (original) ride and heavy-duty ride quality units are available.

The wheel alignment cannot be performed without having first repaired or replaced the suspension components - such as the rear control arms.
Check with the local alignment repair shops in your area - they will have different prices and cost for different services.

Check with the manufacturer of the coil over 4 link suspension - to see what size shock absorber is recommended for the suspension. You may also try the many aftermarket and street rod websites; Fat Man's, Heidts, Jakes - to name a few.
