Searched and could not find definitive answer. Which manual steering rack will work in a 99 EX?
Thanks.

 

Is there something wrong with your rack? Or are you just trying to remove p/s?

 

Nothing wrong, just wanting to remove PS.

 

You can do it by just removing the lines and adding a breather for the rack. I did it a couple years ago, and I haven't had any problems. The only time I notice it is when I'm trying to turn the wheel when the car isn't moving, or if I'm going less than like 2-3mph, and even then it's not that bad. Padawan used to sell a p/s removal kit, and it's the one I'm using. You can see it in this thread:

It's very complete and simple to put in. I think he still sells them if you want to contact him. Otherwise you can piece together the parts from the info in this thread:

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks for the links. I am definitely going to consider this instead of replacing the rack.

Thanks again.

 

I would assume any EK hatch rack would work just fine, as they are all manual.
