Start by disassembling the coupler between the steering rack and the steering column. I did the rack swap when I was doing my engine swap, but it is possible to do the work with the engine in the car. the pump doesn’t allow enough room to maneuver the rack if you don’t remove the sub frame. This is the ONLY way you can swap the rack if you have a civic equipped with ABS. This sounds like a big project, but it really isn’t. I’ve found that the easiest way to swap out the rack, is to drop the front sub frame. Power steering pump and correct mounting hardware.Reservoir and mounting bracket (if you did not have power steering).Every hose and line (Even if you have power steering, all of the lines are different).The shorter wheel base of the 5th gen hatch allows for quicker turn-in.įor an even faster steering ratio, the Integra Type R has the fasted rack! The platform that benefits the most, is the hatchback. This operation is a bit involved, but with some patience, you will reap some fantastic benefits. Also, the 1st gen Integra rack will fit in the 3rd gen civic. If you want to swap the steering rack from your 4th gen civic, I believe the 2nd gen Integra rack will fit. There is no steering rack compatible with the ’96-’00 Civics. This is the only platform that the ’94-’01 Integra steering rack will fit. This article specifies the ’92-’95 Civic platform. If you are into auto crossing, road racing, or would just like to have a more responsive civic, you need to swap in the Integra’s faster ratio steering rack.
