i got a question for ya guys,
if i remove my ps steering pump, the enitre pump assembley, how can the rack n pinion stay lubed or not corrode? is there a way to prevent it from makn horrible noise and dryn out? the car is a 99 gsr so the rack is not manual. any one have any experiences w/ this, good or bad?

 

get the manual rack from dx or something .

 

is there a way to maintain fluid in the rack? possibly by plugging the pickup tube ?

 

its possible eaiser to just swap the rack to manual rack easier ot turn and handle.. thats what we did.

 

when i removed the PS pump on my PS equipped accord, i just plugged the lines. i dont believe it affects the steering rack....my car never seemed to have suffered from it, and i havent heard it affecting other people who have done it

thanks
i think im just gonna do it super ghetto and just take the hose that comes to the pump and put a T into it and reroute it back into itself..should in theory maintain fluid right ?

 

yeah, but i think if you do it the right way with the breather also, it will be a lot easier to turn the wheel, almost as if the ps was still there, but not quite
