Replace a leaking or worn 1996-2000 Honda Civic rack and pinion, or the same unit on a 1997-2000 Acura EL, with the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) N305-0120, a new hydraulic power steering unit listed for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic and the 1997-2000 Acura EL. It is a direct-fit replacement for these listed applications. The pinion takes the turning motion from the steering wheel, and the rack converts it into the side-to-side movement that steers the wheels.
TERREPOWER describes it as a premium-quality new power steering rack and pinion, designed with dependability and reliability in mind.
Signs this part may need replacing: power steering fluid leaking from the rack, heavy or uneven steering effort, excess play in the steering wheel, or clunking or whining noises when turning. Diagnose the cause before replacing anything, because a pump, hose or tie rod can produce similar symptoms.
The listed applications use one unit per vehicle, and this listing is for one unit. Country of origin: China.
