ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    1990 honda accord - steering

    Hello, i own a 90 accord dx 2.2l been having a problem with my steering. When im driving the steering get loose and tight kinda like the power steering pump is going but no squealing or nothing fluid is fine think it might be the rack and pinion. Was wondering if i there was a diffrent honda or anything with a manual rack i could replace it with? Dont really need power steering and a new one is expensive just asking for help/advice thank you

    "the power steering pump is going". Does it do this with the pump belt off? Maybe it's just the pump and you should replace the pump.

        Did you bleed the system?
        Any leaks by the rack?
        Are you strong?
        Did you eat your Wheaties?

          Is there fluid in the power steering reservoir? There is a DIY in our DIY section that shows how to convert our racks to manual racks.

              Then you have a blockage in the lines or something wrong with the rack. Your best bet at this point is to swap the rack out. Sounds like you need a shop's help to determine what is binding up...

                How much have you driven it since the pump change? Have you turned the wheel all the way lock to lock to help purge air from the system?
