do you have to swap out the subframe from a CX, VX, or DX when converting from power steering to manual steering?

 

Yes, you also need the bottom universal joint as well.

 

YOU technicaly dont have to their is a way to loop the power steering hose to keep the rack lubricated thats what i did with mine and its been working fine for years now

 

how would you go about doing the swap without the subframe from cx, vx, or dx?

 

Right, if you DON'T want to swap racks this is the way to do it. If you DO want a non-ps rack you have to swap from what I've read.

 

I'm about to do this. I'm getting rid of my PS just to clean up the bay. Here is a link to do it with out changing out your rack. Looks simple and quick. http://www.jdmuniverse.com/forums/ho...-20-bucks.html

 

ive already had my racks swapped out about 1 year ago but i didnt use a subframe off a cx, vx, or dx. ive probably put 15k miles on it since i had the swap done. i was curious as to what they did to make it work. i know i should have asked them when it was done but i didnt.
