I need to replace my subframe. Aside from rust spots, one of the threads for my LCA bolt is damaged. My question is, are all 96-00 subframes the same? I ask because I'm most likely going to be pulling from a junkyard. I have a 96 ex coupe. And is there any recommended maintenance while doing this swap? I know it'll free up a lot of working room once it's out. I already plan on putting in a manual steering rack.

No. They are not the same IIRC. Power and non=power steering use different racks. A little search would have revealed that.

I know the power steering racks are different. One has a bunch of power steering lines, and one is very basic. Unless, you're referring to the subframe when you say rack. and what is IIRC? Lastly, if I will need a certain subframe for use with a manual steering rack, which one? I wasn't sure if they made EKs without power steering.

Flub. Rack meant subframe.

Ok. Well I'm simply trying to find out if I need a certain subframe, or will any fit just fine from 96-00 in my 96 ex coupe. Forget about the racks and anything else.

Could you not have at least TRIED to search for this information since you started this thread?

Also, hard hard would it have been to verify by a part number search?
