May 2022 Update: Everything is still good EXCEPT the little plastic filter I put in the return hose. It started to leak! I removed the filter assembly and replaced with a brass hose coupler in its place. The filter caught some bits of metal on its magnet so it did a good job but it started to leak. I do not recommend installing that filter.
I always appreciate 7th generation civic videos! The best generation of civic ever! That's why I like the videos because I try to keep mine running top notch. Thanks buddy. Looking forward to more videos.
Aside from the D17 the 7th gen is by far my favourite generation for sedans
Just did mine yesterday. Getting the old rack out was easily the most difficult part of this entire job.
LOL! Sneaking it back in wasnt all that fun either! Good job!
Very helpful this is going to save me $1000 doing it myself
2024 now, thank you for making the video 😊
crazy thing is, I have a leak again! So I'm replacing it again this weekend. Am I being smart and replacing with a brand new rack? Nope! I'm dumb and doing a used one again! Wish me luck
A suggestion for others considering this repair: REMOVE THE RETURN LINE. It's visible at 19:24 next to the high pressure feed line he removed earlier. It's the black metal pipe pointing up then looping under the rack).
It's easily removable; unscrew the fastener that holds the metal bracket to the rack. He mentioned that that line was getting caught on tubes when he was reinstalling.
Thank you for your video. Very, very helpful!!! If you can write a comment on the video to remove that line that gave you trouble to maneuver. (I went throught the same trouble and ended up removing the 10mm bolt at the bottom and a 17mm to remove the line.) It would save other a headache. I really appreciate you uploading this. The only video of this kind 2001-2005 civic that shows the details! Thanks again.
Glad it helped you! Yes I could not find a video for this so I had to make one. The comment you just wrote is awesome, I will pin it to the top!
Great video man helped me a ton. I almost tied the old rack to a car to rip it out lmao it’s was annoying
I also had to cut the hard lines with garden shears cause they were so tight
Used this video for my car. Appreciate the walk through brother
Thanks!! Glad you were able to do it!
Good video very well explained, it helped me out a lot, thanks to this video I did mine yesterday everything turn out perfect. Thank you so much.
very thorough man, love it. have to do something similar soon, I will be referencing!
Great video, I will be doing this very soon.
Thanks👍 for the vid wow that's a lot of labor!
Thank you so much man
Obrigado! Seu video ajudou a tirar a caixa. Pra fazer a troca da bucha óculos. Mecanicos do Brasil falam que tem que tirar o agregado da suspensão.
Amazing work on it man!
Is alot job!!!! I have Honda Civic lx 2001 !!! Good video
Sir can I see your power steering suction hose, mine here bends and its already damage can you help, so that I can assure that it will not happen again
What was the approximate cost at the junkyard and what tools did you use?
The rack was $40 at the junkyard. I used basic sockets like 10mm 12mm 15mm 17mm and you need a big hammer and that crows foot socket I linked to in the video description Sunnex 97736A 1-1/8 Crowsfoot tool

What is the actual name of the t-joint that the inner tie rods are connected to? My r&p is leaking from that point but I can't find a new part that includes this t-joint.
So can an ek ps rack and pump work on this ? Since it's basically th3 same car ? Are the mounting points different ?
Thanks very helpful!!!!!
Hey did u get the air bags replaced on her daugthers civic..im working on my sons 01 and need to have his done..there was a recall on those 01-05 civics..
Yes I took it to the dealer and they replaced the airbags for free
need to remove entire left shock absorber in order to take out the old one
Nooooo you don't use a impact device on a crows foot. Those inner tie rods are not tight.
I took it to an alignment shop afterwards and all good. How would you do the inner tie rods? They were tight and I hammered down the keepers, how can they get loose?
How long did this take in total with the figuring out time added in?. 3-4 hrs?
Yeah 3-4 hours is about right not including the trip to the junkyard. If I do it again I’m buying a new or rebuilt unit because playing junkyard roulette is not worth the cost savings.
@@CarsandCoding thanks, im about to check mine soon. just bought an 05 civic with steering issue
I have to do the laps Before I put the rack and pinion if this is new rack is the same?

Buy a new part ; don’t be miserable
Buying new is best. But installing used is more exciting :)
