Hey dudes, what's good?

My steering rack recently died on me....meaning the rubber boots are busted, the steering ends are shot and the seals are gone so its leaking power steering fluid. So I priced these parts, 'Genuine' honda seals, boots and ends and the price was mind blowingly high:shocked:! So I decided to buy a foreign used rack instead and just replace the whole thing.

But then when I looked around, there were absolutely no EK9 racks available, not even EK4 racks.......so I'm lookin at an EK3 rack.....!!

My question is: Will the EK3 rack work? and if so, will my usual EK9 sharp steering response be gone when I change it cuz I believe the EK9 has sharper steering than the other models and I don't know if its because of something special with the EK9 rack itself.

Please let me know.. Thanks.

dont fit ek3 rack to ek9, different and just as you you describe

i have both ek4 (not as good as ek9 rack)and ek9 rack available but shipping will be expensive unless you want to arrange shipping yourself
 
What is the difference in turns lock to lock between the 4 and 9 racks?
 
afaik the steering rack in all ek's are the same bar powersteering and manual racks
should be 17.7:1 rack ratio and 3.6 l2l for power racks
20.3:1 and 4.1 l2l for manual racks



reports from honda-tech say that the ek9 is no different
