Politicians that want to drive up the stairs of parliament would approve of square wheels.

I removed the power steering setup in my old Integra and it failed the next wof I went for. Dont know wether that should have happened or not but they told me I would have to put a manual steering rack in. So if the car has a PS rack installed then it has to be operating as a PS rack? This was at a VTNZ also.

Is a looped P/S rack just what it sounds to be? You just remove the P/S pump and loop it? Mean.

You need to remove the full system, rack pump tank etc , and fit a manual non powersteering rack Ray will have one so just call him before making another wanted thread.

you can loop the old rack but it wont pass a wof, and it wont last very long either.

Did you clean out the filter at the bottom of the reservoir? When I took my car into Auckland Powersteering Specialists they pulled it out an it was black as, After about a minute of blasting with compressed air and a few flushes it came up clean and so did the fluid. Probably part of the problem in your case...

I didnt take the pump off, just drained it.

Am waiting for Matty to reply? May go to his mechanic to flush it ...?

Like I said, try cleaning out the filter at the bottom of the reservoir. Its easy and it made a huge difference to the fluid.
