My DX doesn't have PS, but it did come with AC. Others can confirm, but I know you'll need the power steering pump as well as the steering rack from a PS model as the manual rack is different.

thanks for the response, so my understanding is i'll need to yank the pump, rack, belt, reservoir, and what else? from a civic with ps, so probably an ex hatch? is this install fairly simple or complicated?

i believe AUTO dx's and si hatches are the only ones that came with power steering. as for an ex hatch no such thing my friend.

You will need to grab, pump, brackets, resevoir, hard and soft lines and rack from a model that has P/S.

I'm getting ready to yank mine off my Si, the rack is shot, but the pump, brackets and lines are all in good shape.

Don't quote me on this - but I wonder if you can use the rack and parts from a 4dr with PS. Probably a lot easier to find than some of those hatches. You'll have to check the part numbers.

i'll ask around, i don't mind not having power steering, but parking at school sucks, not to mention getting in/out of my driveway a pain in the butt lol. i'll call up a junkyard tomorrow and see what they have. thanks for the help guys i'll post if i need anything else.
