Is there anyone on here actually driving with there power steering rack plugged off , and no fluid or power steering pump. This is what im wanting to do but i dont want to mess up the rack a few months down the road, and have to go buy another one to mess up..

It would be better just to swap in a manual rack from a DX. Running it pluged w/o fluid will make it a pain in the bitch to turn. What wrong with the one you have.

There's lots of people that have done this. I believe the best ways to do this are switching over completely to a manual rack, or looping a hose from the input to the output of the rack and packing it with grease or fluid.Comment

Junkyard is going to be your cheapest bet prob, then prob a dealership or a place like AutoZone, etc. Like I said should be a DX steering rack.

Here's a site http://www.discountsteering.com/addt.../80-00566.html Just google it or call a part store and see if they can get it in, if not hit up a junkyard.

Oh well I learned something today, maybe you could swap in a Civic manual rack and fab up some stuff. Thanks for correcting me.

I've never even looked at my steering rack. How many inlets/outlets are there? I guess I was always under the impression that there were two and you could run a short length of hose from one to the other and fill it with grease of fluid as I mentioned above.
Maybe i'm wrong about the ins/outs...Comment

There are 4 lines...Originally posted by wherm View Post
I'm pretty sure 2 are for the fluid, and 2 shut off the power steering at higher speeds, via a sensor in the transmissionComment
