I found my return hose kinda lodged in between some stuff, pinching it a little bit. That could easily have caused this. I can't confirm that this fixed it, but it's a good start. I also got a very close look at the wiggle problem. It HAS to be my spindle. That's the only piece of the hub that is not brand new. When I wiggle the wheel, you can see that inner part moving, looking from the engine side. That's a huge pain in the ass because any honda with 23 spline hubs is tricky to find. For the information of future readers, it's on all 1.5l CRXs (HFs only from 2nd gens) and std civics. Everything else has a larger 26 spline outer axle. How does that part even wear out? It doesn't rub up against anything, it's just lodged into the bearing...stupid. Anyone have this part? Gasoline Fumes?
