steering rack bushing?

How hard is this to replace, does anyone have a good detailed diy for it? and also how do I know if my rack bushings are done? As well does anyone know if a gs-r rack will be a direct fit on a 95 honda civic cx with power steering.

Just replace the steering rack. It'll come with new inner tie rods too.
Too much hassle to replace the inner bushing. I think I gotta do mine too on my civic.

after doing some research I realized I can get a steering rack with inner tie rods that will have a quicker steering ratio then my stock civic rack. For example the integra gs-r steering rack is 3 turns L2L (lock to lock) verses mine being 4 turns L2L. Does anyone know if the gs-r rack goes straight in or is there some modding involved? btw my rack is power steering.

prothane makes a rack bushing set...would be a heck of a lot cheaper than a whole new rack...if your tie rods and everything are good there would not be a whole lot of point replacing the whole rack
Prothane part number 8-702 for eg civic

i agree with bbarbulo...application would help out alot

I know the prothane part he listed is what I would want, but I'm also wanting to know if the rack from a gs-r would be a direct fit for my car. I know people have used them, and I know they have modded it for manual steering applications, but I just want to make sure that there is no modding needed for my application which is power steering.
