alright guys...i removed my ps pump and all the lines not needed. i plugged the ends of the line coming from the resevoir and the line running to the steering rack(dunno proper name)??? i just plugged them up with all the fluid that did not drain, and it seems to drive fine...i see all these guys that loop their line back, but is that nesasary? they way i have it done, is it ok? i just dont want it to lock up or do somethin weird while im driving it? thanx for imput

 

how about you sway it for a manual rack

 

i could do that...but could i not keep the one i have?

 

ne one else?

You can keep the one yo uhave, but it won't last as long as it should.

It won't be unreliable.. but it won't last as long as if you had fl;uid flowing through it. Why not do it right and swap the rack, and get one made for non P/S.

 

it wouldnt be hard, just swap them out....??

 

i did this also and it busted one of the boots (big mess). it was also hard to turn at slow speeds until all of the fluid decided to take a hike. now it turns fine. but i am going to swap it out just so i dont have to worry about it. if you keep yours get most of the fluid out but leave some just for lubrication.

 

what boot are u talkin about?

where can i find a cheap manual power steering rack? i have looked and they are all like 300 bux...im kinda weird bout buying from a junk yard

 

THE BOOT WHERE THE RACK AND THE TIE ROD MEET THE ONLY BOOTS ON THE RACK. THE FLUID DIDNT HAVE ANY WHERE TO GO SO IT MADE IS OWN DRAIN HOLE IN THE DRIVERS SIDE TIE ROD RUBBER BOOT.
