#281788 Ok heres the deal. My friend has a I believe 93 SI HB with power steering, I have a 93 DX HB with non ps. We wanted to swap cause I wanted ps cause I have cerebral palsy n and u turns r sometimes difficult. So my question is as fellowss. Is it a direct rack n pinion and ps pump n lines n belt swap? Or do we need to do some mods to make it work? Btw we both have D16Z6's, n both r 5 spds.

Thanks guys.

#281799 I'm pretty sure all you have to do is just swap over all his power steering components like you stated (Rack,Lines,Belt,Pulley,Pump and reservoir) to your car. But since you are going to swap over racks and the tie rods will be unbolted I suggest an alignment after you guys do the swap. I hope that helps.. :thumb:
