Default converting power steering to manual steering on 95 Si

do you have to swap out the subframe from a CX, VX, or DX when converting from power steering to manual steering?

Yes, you also need the bottom universal joint as well.

Right, if you DON'T want to swap racks this is the way to do it. If you DO want a non-ps rack you have to swap from what I've read.

I'm about to do this. I'm getting rid of my PS just to clean up the bay. Here is a link to do it with out changing out your rack. Looks simple and quick. http://www.jdmuniverse.com/forums/ho...-20-bucks.html

ive already had my racks swapped out about 1 year ago but i didnt use a subframe off a cx, vx, or dx. ive probably put 15k miles on it since i had the swap done. i was curious as to what they did to make it work. i know i should have asked them when it was done but i didnt.
