Make sure the new PS belt is still tight. The excess steering wheel free play might be addressed with a rack guide adjustment, though I would wait on this -- filling the system with Honda PS fluid and tightening the belt may be the fix. When you experienced the excess free play, was the steering wheel also very difficult to turn?
Napa didnt have honda brand PS fluid. They had a Napa brand PS fluid for Honda/acura.


Its not hard to turn, it realy doesnt bother the way it turns. I think its more notisable when the car is off/cold or when not moving, but its still there when its warmed up.If that makes any senes. The steering wheel playdoesnt move on its own, just turn the wheel slow a little left and right and you will feel the play. i think if you drive the car for the firts time you will not notice the play..idk, but thanks for all the help i get from this forum, ill have a mechanic look at it, if i starts to have other problems. More play, or weird noises.
