Re: Steering problem w/'02 Civic HB SI

I believe that you still need to find first the steering fluid reservoir and for this car I remember that is a remote reservoir - is not close to the pump but more likely to the passanger side of the engine - ...any way, it should be visible.
Coming back to your complain of noise I think that it's more from the column steering. When you have low steering fluid then the noise is more metalic noise, like a bearing without grease....your noise is more like a rubbing noise and could come from two places: rubber boots from the end tie rods from the steering rack, or from bushings from the column steering.
So, first find the reservoir and check the level, then if you can look under car check if both boots are ok (not broken, mostly because the boots are twisted) and if everything is OK then must be from column steering.
