as of 2am last night, it's DONE!
few things remaining....
I need 2 new front forks..the 14mm bolt is jacked on both sides.
Gotta setup the coilovers to a good ride height
AC belt and pulley spun off at startup, lil too tight there.
Bleed the brakes one more time
This thing drives like a CHAMP! The steering and overall front end feel is fantastic. I'm VERY happy and cannot wait to dial this in.
TopSetup CRX #3!

no time for pics, we moved at such a fast pace.
ah, REB
rack end bushing
TOTAL believer.
Here's the thing...the one that was in the car looked fine, no visible wear perse.
I wonder if the tolerances are so close on that thing that ANY wear will produce the REB shake.
Just glad it's done...merry christmas to me and my CRX.

its plastic so who knows other than its going to deform a lot easier than metal. but it never will look "destroyed" or anything visible. you can feel the difference before and after tho by shaking the rack to check, thats all you need to know!
did you adjust the pinion gearbox?

Good question, I'm not sure.
Mugen mounts and trailing arm bushings were from King Motorsports.
