ok well this is my first post on here and ive searched to no avail. i have a 90 corolla SR5 (AE92) and today one of the metal return lines busted off the top of my power steering rack. it made a pop and i can see that it broke clear right at teh rack pretty much. took it to a shop and they suggested i get a new rack and i can see y.

my main question is will a GTS rack fit in with no modifications? i have an option to get 1 for free but the guy said something about the GTS haveing something different with their steering. can somebody help me?

TIA

I don't think it will fit.

really? that sux... how much would it hurt to drive without fluid in the rack and loop the PS lines on the pump?

shouldn't be too hard.
I drove without pwr steering on my Alltrac for over a year.
You car is alot easier to drive that way...

would it hurt the rack at all where the line is broken? i thoguth power steering racks had to have fliud in them all the time of else they will fuck up

also how hard is it to loop the lines on the PS pump and would i HAVE to do it if i just un hook the belt?

either way, does anybody know of any other PS racks that are compatible with the rack in my car??? my gf drives teh car too and she likes the PS

bump,
need to know if running the rack without fluid will hurt the rack severly, not that i care cause it needs to be replaced neways..... but i just dont wanna loose steering and crash, if ya know what i mean

what would happen if i just took the PS belt off? would the pump just not run and then it wouldnt burn out and it would be ok for the pump until i get a new rack to put on?
