I've just removed my P/S and asked me a question about drain it or leave some fluid inside and make a loop like that


I've tried to loop like that but there is some air and fluid inside the rack, don't know if it is the way to go.

 

I turned the steering wheel completely to the left and right left remaing fluid in it with a loop never had a problem

 

I personally ditched mine all together and put in a manual rack which shaves a fwe mor pounds off from a power rack. ther is a way to completely convert a PS rack to manual but the turning gear ratio isnt designed for manual operation so its not as easy as a manual rack

 

You have a 3rd gen or 2nd, all you needed was annual rack out of a eg or rs integra?

Could I do it with the motor in?


Btw I looped p/s and never had a prob with it.

 

I have a DC and I'm running an EG manual rack. You also need the universal joint from the civic and then modify the pass side rack mount. I just added more rubber and it worked out fine. You can do it with motor in the car

 

I took everything out of it, didn't loop it or anything. Been fine for 4 years now lol

 

i put a manual rack in mine.

 

No need oil at all?

 

This is how I'll be doing to my PS rack.

If you keep the power rack then it will be more work to turn. Looping it works to keep crud out but doesn't improve anything.

Manual rack is the way to go and I picked one up for my EG at the junkyard for like $30. Been working great for 3 years.

over time it gets easier to turn if its a power rack. I didn't even realize my rack was a power rack until 6-7 years after owning my current civic because there was never any excessive force needed to turn.

 

I replaced the rack with a manual one, feels natural even with slicks.

 

Nope, just left it all open.
