I have a steering noise / vibration at idle on my 2008 MDX. [img]smileys/smiley6.gif[/img]<BR itxtvisited="1"><BR itxtvisited="1">With the truck motionless in “drive”, engine at idle (like waiting at a traffic light), whenever I rotate the steering wheel a humming noise and vibrationis heardfrom the steering system. The noise / vibration is not there when the engine is cold, but kicks in once it warms up.<BR itxtvisited="1"><BR itxtvisited="1">I noticed that the vibration / noise is not there when the engine gets a little bit of speed on top of the current idle one. I tested it by depressing the brake pedal with my left foot (to keep the truck from moving) and to allow the right foot to rev up a little bit the engine (with 100 rpm or so). Then I spin the steering wheel and the problem is not there.<BR itxtvisited="1"><BR itxtvisited="1">Following my complaints my Acura dealer has replaced the steering rack, the fluid (twice) and recently the steering pump. The problem has not vanished, on a contrary. My dealer says they don't know what else to do.[img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]
Has anybody else experienced this?<BR itxtvisited="1"><BR itxtvisited="1">What do you guys think / advise?
