How to Replace Steering Rack 92-95 Honda Civic - Power to Manual Conversion Swap

  • A complete walk through on how to remove your power steering rack & pinion and all of the associated lines and parts for your 1992-1995 Honda Civic and install a manual unit as a replacement. I used a manual rack from a 1994 Civic DX Hatchback. This hatchback is a 1995 Civic Si.
    The only 2 parts you will need if buying a brand new rack and installing on your power steering equipped Civic already are the manual bracket and the spacer which holds the rubber grommet in place up against the top of the rack. The power steering rack does not have this piece.

    for anyone wondering on manual handling, the dx I have now came with a manual rack. I was planning to swap to power since that's what I've always run but after 6 months I have to say aside from parking, I really enjoy the direct feeling you get from the manual rack at speed, it's very analog and predictable. I'll be staying manual!

      @@balloney2175 Absolutely!!
      You can feel the road SO much better, the steering feels very analogue/manual (not sure how to better phrase it), and the car feels more "glued" in turns (probably from the additional feedback and being able to feel the effort being put into different turns). If a loss of traction is starting to occur you can feel it a lot better too, including when driving surfaces change.
      Plus, a tiny bit less weight and one less thing for typically low-torque engines to turn.
      People complain about parking but it really isn't a big deal in cars this light, I've never understood why people are opposed; the moment the car is rolling just 1-2mph it's easy to turn again, while feeling amazing at higher speeds.

I had to buy it so I could get my car back together. I was so mad because the regular u joints for power steering are like $30-$40.. the dude knew what he had and I had to buy it lol

    This was a great opportunity video. Thanks for taking the trouble to make it. The original rack on my 94 lx is leaking a bit. Has 300k miles on it. Iwas thinking about going to manual since reputable manufacturers don't seem to make this rack anymore. It's all reman out there! I am thinking about using stop leak on it or getting a rebuild kit and put it all back together to buy some time while I plan the switch to the manual. Do you know if stop leak works? Does using a rebuild kit work?

    • @GarageBuiltHondas
      @GarageBuiltHondas  Před 6 lety +1

      It's just a band aid. If it's leaking then the seals are worn out. I don't know how long the stop leak would work or if it would even work at all but it's probably not very expensive to just try it out if you want to. *And a rebuild kit works*

Or is it safe to run a powered rack as non powered (either loop or cap the line ports on the rack?).

  • @stella_golden_girl_retriev29

    Can someone tell me how to loop the fluid lines within the reservoir? My power steering stopped working and I don't want to fix it. But, I need to loop the fluid lines so the rack stays lubricated. I don't have the skills to loop the lines at the rack. Thanks.

    did you get that spacer off of the power rack? I just got a manual rack from the junk yard, and it looks like i have everything I need except the spacer that goes on the pinion. I don't want to start the job until I have the spacer or know i can pull it off the power rack. Thanks

    • @GarageBuiltHondas
      @GarageBuiltHondas  Před 7 lety +3

      The angle at which the rack is held to the subframe will be different and throw the geometry of slightly, therefore it can wear out/cause binding in a short amount of time. I read on a few forums of this happening to more than one person. Seemed to be a common issue.

    • @GarageBuiltHondas
      @GarageBuiltHondas  Před 7 lety

      Doing that would still leave the rack at a slight angle on the passenger side because of the extra bushing. I wouldn't do that to my car, you may create the binding issues and then when you align it, it might still pull in one way more than the other because of the incorrect angle. Which spacer?
