When I leased my Civic from Planet Honda, it had around 2 miles on the odometer. When I first drove it, it appeared to be fine. After about 200 miles or so, it started to make knocking noises on the front right side, and at the same time, the steering felt crooked and very loose, especially when making right turns. I took it back to the dealership and they determined that the right front shock absorber was defective, so they replaced it (or so they said). After driving away with a supposedly fixed car, the knocking noises persist, and the steering is still crooked and very loose. Is it possible they didn't do the repair work in the first place?

 

yes it is possible the work was not done. take it back and tell them the same thing and to check it. does not sound to safe to drive.

 

Does anyone know how many degrees you normally have to turn the steering wheel on a 2016 Civic LX to make a right turn? On my car, I have to turn it one full turn plus ALMOST half a turn, so 360° + 160° = 520.° Is this normal?

 

The front, right wheel just started wobbling, especially when I make a right turn. It was doing this BEFORE and AFTER my car had a wheel alignment done at Pep Boys, so it can't possibly be an out-of-balance wheel. The knocking noise is also becoming more frequent! I really wish I could pinpoint which component it is so that a mechanic can fix ASAP and once and for all! This car is trying to kill me!
