    Hello all,

    As not to annoy a machanic I'm looking to fix this myself

    When I turn the steering sometimes I get a squeak or some kind of grind from rubber sound.

    Any suggestions ?

    Thanks all

    What car is it? Did you check your power steering fluid?

    It's a 07 civic hatch and uses EPS but a new control unit was only put in recently and the steering itself is perfect apart from this noise

    It appears it doesn't use power steering fluid

    Do you have to turn the wheel fully or just a little bit?
    Some cars are known for having bit of a steering wheel squeak, like bmw e36. You can try googling honda civic steering wheel squeaks if you haven't already.

    Just turning the wheel at all.

    It's not so much a squeak but more something rubber grinding off something

    Already tried googling with no joy
