We have a 2003 Accord that I'm going to replace the Steering Pump and the Rack.

Now for my question, I'm buying my parts from Rock Auto and I see most have the words "Power Steering" and there's this one saying its a"Hydraulic Power Steering" unit for the Rack Only is there any difference between Power Steering and Hydraulic Power Steering are they the same? The Pump doesn't say it's for power steering or does it say Hydraulic Power Steering.

 

Nevermind.

 

Remember that Japan made vehicle requires matching power steering rack
USA made vehicles are different than Japan made vehicles
A power steering pump uses fluids to "PUMP" fluids to create hydraulic pressure.
Should mean the same thing for your vehicle.

 

A hint for you guys. If it's not hydraulic what is it?

 

Wow your the Engineer and you have a question, this is for the very same reason I have asked you "Repeatedly" to go away. So far all you have done is boost your numbers count. Please do all of us a favor and stay out of our threads/post when you have nothing to "contribute" to or on. Your not welcome in any of my threads "Present or Future" MOVE ON !

 

Actually while looking for a PS pump and a Rack from brick n mortar parts houses as well from Rock Auto (Internet) I haven't seen or read this or that part is for Japan made or even USA made cars just says/reads its for the car/truck your looking for parts on.. I do get it that Japan made cars/trucks are a little different from USA cars/trucks parts wise.

 

I thought that hint would be enough for you but I guess not. Let's try this one. What two types of systems do they use? Hydraulic and _______
Fill in the blank.

 

Anybody else with an Intelligent answer besides our resident tech engineer guru?

 

There are hydraulic units and ELECTRIC units. Now you know.

 

No follow up snark?
