    Default more gay car problems

    so i found something leaking under my car this morning. it looked to be brake or power steering fluid. (on passenger side) i lifted the car and realized that the boot at the end of my tie rod is completely busted in two. there is a feed line running to the boot and i guess its power steering fluid that is leaking. is it hard to change this boot? i am also planning on removing my p/s system so does it really matter?

    there is not a feed tube going to the boot, its a vaccum line, but yes more then likely the rack seals have busted, and no, replacing the rack boot wont make the problem go away. yu'll either have to replace the rack with another PS rack or a MS rack.

    well DA integras never came with manual steering, so you'll need to find a CRX rack. youll need to check honda-tech to find which trim line of EF had a similar steering ratio.. then just check with a salvage yard or an auto parts store..
