    Power Steering
    2003 Accord. 110,000 miles. Had a power steering problem. The hose was replaced first, then a new pump, to no avail, now we are onto a rack. Is anybody out there?

    Even though Honda doesn't recommend ever changing power steering fluid, I change mine every two years. More heat is developed in these systems than most people realize, which is why they have their own power steering cooler. Use only Honda Genuine power steering fluid. My experience has been that pump, rack, and gear assemblies need to be replaced, when the fluid is not regularly changed. If you have an in-line P/S filter, be sure to replace it after all work is done.

Driving w/out Power Steering [ 1 Answers ]

Due to a leak in the power steering cooler line on my '92 Honda Civic, I disconnected the PS pump until I can find replacement parts. Is it safe to drive the car w/out power steering? Will that put an undue strain on any steering components? Thanks.
