rack and pinion
How hard is this to change. Is it something that can be rebuilt at home or a good shop. Oh and can I replace it with a non power unit if I don't want the ps. This is in reference to a 90 4wd wagon.

I woud not recommend trying to rebuild it yourself, You would be better off using it as a core. Im sure you could replace it with a non power unit as my 2wd wagon does not have PS.
PS IM looking for some stiffer shocks for my wagon any ideas? I don't want to lower it niether what makes a CRX/HB shocks any different? Would like to use bilsteins or KYB's

If you're pretty mechanically inclined, you should be able to pull it and put a new one in. It would take a few days, but for the cost savings would be well worth it.

Do you think the stock wagon springs will fit on a set of 5th gen struts I fit get lowered a little bit it would not bother me but 3 inches is alot. What makes it get lower the si springs or the are the struts shorter? Sorry for all the questions but the wagons are like the bastard of the 4th gen car.
Thanks
Thanks

I'll be honest I believe its the springs because I looked at the whole assemblies side by side and there was not a 3in difference. I would use your wagon springs. I couldn't because I had mine cut when I was into the lowrider thing a few years back. I'm planning to use some agxs with the regular 2wd springs as soon as winter is over and drop a zc into the wagon with a little boost. I saw a 4wd with a z6 and 5lbs of boost http://yota1man.tripod.com/vtecwagon/ if his holds up then I will try it. Unlike most of the civic loving population I love my wagon its our 5th one.

My boots on steering rack are also leaking.. would this cause all the wobble and clunking that i am having in the front when turn to the left? (97accord 4cyl) everytime i hit a small bump i feel it.. when i turn left slightly at high speeds, i hear a whole mess of clunking and wobbling... anyone shed sum light on this? should i change the rack? and what else? anyone done a rack on a 5th accord? any info/tips will be apprect'd.
