I have a 1996 Civic 2dr EX, the power steering rack is leaking my choices are obviously buy a new one, rebuild current rack, or swap in another one. I want to keep the P/S because this is my wife's car.

What other racks can be swapped?

I have heard the Integra racks have a quicker ratio is this true? (which years)

With different rack will it require the use of different tie rods?

Anyone with knowledge on this that can share would be greatly appreciated

Anyone have any info?

 

the integra rack wont work with the ek civics. if it were an eg that would be a different story.

 

I have heard that you can make the DC steering rack work by swaping out the whole sub-frame for an EG or DC one. You also have to use EG/DC LCAs to keep caster in spec. I have not done this swap personally, so do some more research if the idea interestes you...
