ok guys. i got a question for you, my power steering went out on my 91 sr20det hatch and im wondering how safe it is to drive untill i find another pump, im not sure if the pumps are the same on the ka and sr. i was told i could blow my rack, lol. let me know guys thanks in advance.

fix it ASAP.

the PUMPS themselves are the same between KAs and SRs. you have to swap the PULLEY and the BRACKETS from the SR to the KA pump :l101:

So your saying I can get a pump off a ka and put my old brackets and pulley on it? Just the pulley wheel right, I don't need to put the shaft in the new one, cuase that's whÃ*t broke on mine now. Thanks a lot guys.

well i took the belt off when it happend, i was just told its not good to drive it like it is becuase i could ruin my rack??? haha yea. somthin about it not bein lubed.

as long as you have the belt off it wont hurt anything.. itll just be really hard to turn because of all the fluid in the lines if you wanna make it easier till you can fix it drain fluid.. unhook return ine from rack at the rubber hose part and crank your steering one way all the way over then all the way back effectively removing fluid .. itll make it a bit easier to turn
