JSportsxs rear radius rod install. Obviously the procedure works with any aftermarket radius rod set.
The tie rod one was really important. lol... Thanks for the heads up. Fixed now.You dropped the tie rod video twice. No radius rod video.

Hey all this is a nice looking fix. I just purchased a kit from Kenimoto that replaces the factory dust guard with a full guard to cover whole firewall area. It included the parts to fill the gaps on front of the rear tires as well. The whole kit was $52.99. I will update when I receive the kit as far as ease of installation and quality of parts. I just figured I'd post about it because I've seen the rear wheel well inserts for $80+ and this kit just seemed like a more cost effective solution.This tip came from @Lil_Steve #beers
When you get your new Talon home, remove the hood and have a look at the firewall above the passengers' knees. That gaping hole exposes the backside of the dash wiring and everything that's in there, to whatever the right front tire (or leading SxS) wants to throw up. The relatively simple fix for this is a wider firewall cover, it took me maybe 15 minutes to install, not counting the time it took to find the runaway push pins.

$9.60 a quart and you'll need 1.35 IIRC so I bought 3, enough for 2 fills.Hey HondaBob and CID. Thanks for the tip on the HP4RM moly lub addative. Do you know the price per quart? Thanks in advance.
I've not heard about this issue. But if it were wire overload, why would it be a problem later vs when new?Weak or intermittent power steering - this problem is showing up more and more. Mine does it occasionally, others much more often. The suspected problem (thanks to PaulF) is looking like the EPS ECU (under the driver's seat on 2 seaters) is too far from the PS motor (under the hood) and the gauge of wiring between them is too small to carry the load needed to run the motor properly.

Honda talon stiff power steering
I am having issues with my power steering on my talon x4. It gets stiff from time to time. I have checked the battery by load test, connections, grounds and loose wires. Has anyone else had this issue?hondasxs.com
The problem doesn't 'get worse', it takes time for it to come to light on the internet. Mine has been there since the beginning but intermittent enough to ignore. Most guys were probably fighting with their dealers and now more and more guys are bringing it up online. Once a guy sees it mentioned, he brings up his problems.I've not heard about this issue. But if it were wire overload, why would it be a problem later vs when new?
