Heres what I dont understand. I ave driven cars without powersteering. Once your moving its fine but you do get the steering wheel wobble and going slow obviously your using 2 hands on the wheel. My powersteering rack with the pump not connected I could stll 1 hand even at slow speed. Why is this?

 

Idk bro cuz I gotta use 2 hands on mine and everythin is there but the pump

 

I swear mine was like butter and I'm not that strong lmao. AT a dead stop there was resistance but not where it was a huge struggle to turn and moving a half a mile an hour it was easy, moving like 3MPH it was like I can 1 hand this, idling around in 1st I could turn super easy lol. Then again my car is the fucking mystery machine, half the things it does don't make any sense at all lol

 

so how bout we trader steering rack lmao...still nobody answered the main question lol instead of doin the loopy thing thing can i just throw a dx rack on?

 

Edit: I forgot you have a '99... er... not sure if you can use an EG steering rack (as I've linked below).


Yeah, I think DXs had the manual steering rack. My friend's '95 HB was a DX I believe, and it had a manual rack from the factory.

Failing the attempt to buy a used one from someone (as I've looked before with no success), you can buy a remanufactured manual steering rack from AutoZone, for about $200 with core exchange. If this link works...

Duralast/Rack & Pinion (6856) | Rack & Pinion | 1994 Honda Civic DX 4 Cylinders 1.5L MFI SOHC | AutoZone.com

I'm guessing you could just use your PS rack as a core, lol.

 

Ok thanks man I work at advance so I can cheaper lol

 

eg and ek racks ARE different...yes a manual rack from a cx/dx will work BUT you need the change the knuckle on the joint from the colomn to the rack. it is smaller for the manual rack.
