Default Question about Power Steering

I had power steering before my swap and now I don't. I have notice that there is a little play in the wheels when I'm driving. I have been wanting to get a (don't know the correct term) non-power steering rack. I know that they are out there. I don't know how much one would go for nor where to get it. Its for a 1990 Civic Lx. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Rob

I thought about that except for the fact that I was working on the car one day (every day) and when I set it down I noticed that one of the wheels was straight and the other was about three inches to the right. I'm not sure that an alignment will fix that. I could be wrong. If I am please let me know. It will save me some money.

From what it sounds like it is an alignment. if you take it to any alignment shop they can do it and if it is not that they will tell you exactly what it is but 95% sure its alignment. could also be bushings but not 3 inches in difference from bushings. Tire Kindom is pretty cheap and they do good.

My bet would be that your toe is waaay off.
Easy fix.
If you've got the time, set up a string box this weekend and go at it with a ruler/measure tape.
