Hey all,

I'm in the middle of swapping in a GSR steering rack in to my 93 civic si and ran in to a small snag. The input shaft for the GSR rack is a different size than the input shaft from the original civic power steering rack. Has anyone run in to this before? Can the u-joint connector from the integra be used to fix this? Or is there a different solution I'm not aware of?

Any tips would be appreciated. The car is not useable currently, so I'd like to find the part/solution asap. Thanks in advance--

You could try taking your Civic U-Joint to the autoparts store & comparing it with an integra one. If you carefully count the splines, you would know if it's what you need...

And if it's not, it didn't cost you a thing...

 

The U-joint from an Integra will work perfectly.

 

Thanks for the tip! I was hoping it would be that simple. Just to confirm.....when you swapped in an integra rack, the input shaft was too large for your civic U-joint shaft, and one from a (94-01???) Integra was the correct one?

That's great news!
