and i didn't use power steering fluid, the fluid is red.
people have told me to use power steering fluid tho (which is clear?). REDSH!FT, why is it bad to use power steering fluid. And where did you hear that it causes the pump to squeal?

why is the hicas rack better than the s14 one? i think i heard soemthing like its shorter and so better steering but what else? and what changes needs to be made to fit the hicas rack in? thanks

not shorter. its the gearing in side. turns faster.
no changes. bolts in bolts out
just need to get different bushings for the brackes iirc. s14 is bigger for the bushing then s13.
