Now a days you hear "manual steering" or "no power steering" and you think about old cars that were a bitch to control because it was like trying to steer a boat. The older civics like our were so small & light that while the car is moving there is little to no difference. The one thing that will make manual steering a little harder is if you have aftermarket wheels/tires on your car. A wider more square low profile tire takes more effort to steer, mostly when not moving.

It's that or do some major work on the car.

It use to be manual steering. The rack had a lot of slop in it and the rack that i had ( the one that leaks ) was power so i decided to just throw all new power steering in there. So i did. I just put 600 bucks in it for power steering, i'm not taking it out lol.
