Please help with Power Steering
Ok I have a question and it has probably been asked before but I have heard responces both ways to this. I have a 1999 Civic HX and I want to take my power steering system out of my car. not completly just mainly the pump and I want to drain it of the fluids. I have heard that doing this will dammage the power steering part of the steering rack is this true? If it is is there a way to prevent this from happening while still removing power steering (I dont want to just remove the belt). I want to do this more for feel than power as at high speeds (anything above 60) my wheel feels to light for my tastes. Any help would be appriciated.

Re: Please help with Power Steering (MugenCivicHX)
It's true that if there is no fluid in the rack, it would mess up ur steering system...
This is what i done... I installed the steering rack from an ITR and i took off the belt, pump, resirvor tank, pully etc etc... The only thing u'll need to do is plug up the return line by connecting a tube and fill it with fluid... That way, ur rack wont mess up on u... Make sure fluid would still be in the rack... U could do that on the stock rack, i choose the ITR for the better steering and the bigger sway bar...
