Shop already replaced Return and High-Pressure Hoses and the Pump itself....what else could it be?
There is no knocking or thud sound when I turn, so I don't think it is the Rack-n-Pinion, or could it be?

JourneymanIt is very common to have this noise on Honda's.
First, I would check if there if there are any bubbles/ air in the reservoir. Is the fluid clean? Honda's do take special Honda fluid.
Check the hoses, especially the ones going into and out of the reservoir. If they are wet, at all, they are seeping and need replaced. There is a filter in the reservoir, it can be restricted. There is a suction seal on the pump that is also common to be bad.
The hoses and seal really don't leak, they just allow air into the system, which will make the pump groan.Flag ThisLike0
