Hello Scotty, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I have with my 2007 honda civic si. Whenever it turns (even at complete stop) there is a horrible noise coming from underneath the car at the front. Please help me, it is annoying and is embarrassing that people is appreciating the car and the hear that strong-ugly noise.

I have a video so you can have a better idea of the noise I am talking about. It has been a while since I recorded that video, so now the noise is even worst that that.
Best,

follow the noise with your ear. You may even be able to feel it with your hand. Spray some lube and see if the noise changes.
I did that, and the sound is coming from the rack and pinion, I haven't done it yet, but what I'm gonna do is take the boot out of it and put grease on it and see if that is the problem. This car have an electric power steering system so what I hope is that it just needs lubrication
If re-lubricating doesn’t help, it may be time for a new rack.
You don’t need to buy the OEM rack though, a brand new aftermarket Made in Thailand part should work just fine.
