Re: Cx steering rack into ex
yea it is but its too late for plugs, I took the lines off when i put the lsv-t in and left them open and now the rack has like two inches of play in it. so i'm just gonna replace it with a manual rack.

the manual rack have different "gearing" to them too dont they? cause i found it more difficult to turn my plugged PS rack than my dedicated manual rack.

it will still get tight over time since there is no oil flowing through it.. if u have the opportunity its best to swap a manual rack in..

Also, since when do you post in tech
Yep, manual rack turns easier than a depowered power rack. To swap in a manual rack you need the subframe and lower joint/knuckle from the manual steering column.

Usually you loop the lines with a breather rather than plugging the lines

So other than buying the new rack I need the subframe out of a cx?

subframes are the same. you just need the rack and the U joint that connects the rack to the steering column. the EX spindle is bigger than the dx/cx one

Yes.
Subframe is different, U shaped clamp is smaller for a manual rack, you can use the larger clamp and shim it up with something but for not that much more effort you can just use the right subframe.
