I want to install power steering in my dx. Do i have to change the rack and pinion or is it a matter of getting p/s lines and pump? TIA!

 

I know someone has done this!

 

If your car didn't come with PS originally you will need to change to the PS rack. Just outta curiousity, why are you installing PS?

 

yes if your car didn't come with power steering originally then you will need a ps rack. I actually took power steering out of my car equipped with it .

 

I have a power steering rack, lines and resivoir for sale. Check the link in my sig

you need the rack, pump, lines, resivoir, belt, and the universal joint that connects the rack to the steering column.

Hey..how does that work? I've never tried that. Wouldn't logic suggest that the rack, equipped with PS, was designed to bear a load which is SUPPORTED by PS? That is to say...wouldn't removing PS put a load on the rack which would cause it to wear prematurely?

Is that all wrong? It's just an assumption of mine, but obviously you made it work. How is it holding up?

nifty little trick here. works well, i recommend it: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=184202

 

the mechanisms between the racks are mechanically the same as far as what makes the tires turn its just that the addition of fluid through a pump helping to allpy pressure to the shaft when you turn the wheel that makes it easier. you remove the pump and its basically the same as a manual rack aside from the fact that it has all the connections on it for power steering. the ratios are a bit different though between a manual and a power rack.

By looping the two end sof the rack you can prevent overstress, or in theory.
That is what I did, IM ok still.

Yea if you want a B-seires Power Steering system (not including rack) check my sig also.
