The Acura ILX is a subcompact executive car and it adopts a brand-new design. It has a good fuel economy and is even better than other luxury sedans. ILX comes with high-quality parts, such as the steering column. A faulty steering column can cause the steering wheel to not lock properly, grinding and clicking noises, and the handling will be abysmal.
ILX has many great parts, but problems arise after the steering column parts have been used for a long period. The removal process for the ILX steering column parts is as follows. Disconnect the negative battery terminal first. Then remove the lower shroud from under the dashboard. Next, remove the upper shroud and the mounting hardware from the cluster trim bezel, and remove the airbag and the steering wheel retaining nut. Finally, go under the hood and remove the mounting bolts holding the steering column to the steering gear. Signs of a bad steering column include clicking when you turn the steering wheel, the steering wheel not returning to the middle, and the steering tilt not working. There are lots of top-quality and durable ILX parts available online. It is easy to buy needed ILX parts at nearly wholesale prices.
