Are you tired of your steering having play? But dont want to buy a junk remanufactured rack? Well I just found them on RockAuto Parts Catalog

170 bucks

Just a little bit of info for anyone in need of a new steering rack.

 

Link goes no where but to the main page..come on man....give me an update on the swap JESUS ****** CHRIST.

 

hahahahaha SERIOUSLY! Good find on the rack and pinion though

 

Thats as far as a link will go, its an internal system. also there seems to be alot of nice oem quality parts on there.

Tony man I dont know what you expect. I cant put it together unless the motor is here. I've said several times it was going to be a long process and guess what Ive redone the entire interior during the process and the engine bay is ready for the engine. By all means call Hmotors and tell them the courier hasn't arrived yet.

that's a pretty good price lol where were you when I was looking for one a few months back.

 

Got mine for Detroit axles and haven't had an issue. Lifetime warranty helped make the deciding factor. It was a relief not having to pull motor or drop subframe!!! It can be done but still pita!

 

Dude I recall you you saying the motor was on its way.

 

That's a lot of money to replace a $10 part and two $19 boots. #10 53430-SR3-000 is the only piece that wears out inside these things. Other than that, it's just a matter of setting the spring tension with the #4 set screw properly or to your taste. There is plenty of write-ups on changing this piece out. Check the CRX forum for more.

 

What is the reason for tensioning it? I'm curious as to how these manual racks work. I've replace p/s racks before and didn't have to make any adjustments, other than getting an alignment.

 

Rack guide adjustment:

 

Wow, more tools to buy.

 

Oh sweet. Good to know how those work and how they're adjusted. I did a PS delete and that's the last thing I need XD

 

You don't need all that. The special Honda wrench helps for sure though. Makes adjustments under the car quick & simple. And it's only $25. Otherwise you can tighten/loosen that nut with a pair of vice grips.

As for the actual tension on the wheel, just keep adjusting it till you find a feeling you like. Usually takes me about 5 tries.

 

havent been online in a couple days but I bet you can guess why. go to my build to find out!
