Have any ITS's had this issue. I was under the impression they used a different part so this was an A-spec only issue.

sounds like they are using the same rack that's on the Civic Si's that's notorious for "sticky steering". the worm wheel wasn't cured correctly and it deforms over time and causes issues. supposedly they fixed the manufacturing issue on the new racks, but that's just hearsay.

I had mine replaced on my Si at 18k miles; but the steering felt "stiffer" starting around 8k miles, then got a lot worse very quickly at 18k. It felt even stiffer than sport mode steering even in normal mode; and felt no difference between "normal" and "sport".

I'm almost at 31k now and the replacement rack feels a lot better, so far.

"During manufacturing, the worm wheel goes through annealing and component conditioning processes. These processes caused internal stress and strain within the worm wheel. This strain was slowly released over the first few months of the vehicle life." — Honda
