Does my '92 Civic VX have power steering?
Hello All,
Having a litte trouble finding a conclusive answer on whether or not a 1992 civic vx came standard with power steering? I just bought a beater for $800, body is rough but it fires up right away, has a/c and aftermarket cd player so I thought I did pretty well. Also, with the MPG it'll pay for itself in 3 months feeding it instead of my truck. If it did not come with power steering then that's definitley something I can live with. If it did, there's obviously something wrong, leak, fluid, etc. If there is something wrong how much would you estimate to fix a power steering problem ( i know without knowing exactly what's wrong it will be hard to say, just looking for low to high ballpark figures). One last question is I know KBB has the "fair" condition price at just under $1100 but, what are these little gas sippers going for private party where you are? Looks like a great site and thank you in advance for answering my questions !

Re: Power Steering on '92 Civic VX
VXs did not come with power steering. It was not available as an option either. (it can be added though with parts from a '92 - '95 Civic that came with power steering though)

@94EG8-Thank you very much!
@DC4- Sorry if my question was ambiguous. I knew no one added aftermarket PS to the vehicle, I just wanted to know if the came from the factory with PS and it went out. Now that I know they did not come from the factory or as an option from the factory I'm not too worried about it.

I should have mentioned that I am not a "car" guy at all so I wouldn't know where to look for it. I can do my own oil, change tires, and a buddy just taught me to do brakes but, anything under the hood is like looking at a bearded clam for the first time, you know you like what you see but you don't really know what to do with it. That's another reason I bought this car. I figured if I break something tinkering around with it it's cheap enough parts to not be too mad at myself and from what I've read they're pretty easy to work on.

These a probably the easiest cars you'll ever find to work on in terms of any sort of a modern multiport fuel injected car.
