Yes it's safe to drive but it will be very difficult to steer. Only drive it to a place to replace it or home if doing it yourself.
They are relatively easy to replace. If you can do a brake job you can replace a pump.
Just get yourself a Haynes manual.
yes, but you better have some muscles because it will be hard to do.
It is not illegal to drive without power steering. Many people who drive very old cars do not have power steering.
The S2000 has electronic power steering hence no power steering fluid.
they dont come with power steering *answered by darkmega :)
Absolutely NOT. Without the P/S pump the steering will be extremely hard to turn and it would be dangerous to drive.
no it does not.
Yes, but it should be looked at as soon as possible. This is because it is a safety hazard. Vehicles that originally had power steering installed and then it fails does not drive like a vehicle that never had power steering. There is s direct relationship between the speed (or movement in reality) of the vehicle and the ease of turning it without power steering assist (or when your power steering is disabled). If you are at a stop for instance, turning the wheel is much more difficult then a moving vehicle and turning it and this should be taken into account when driving a vehicle without power steering.
If you don't have dry rot in your power steering lines, it does.
Yes, if you drive with the power steering empty of fluid and the motor locks up, it can actually rip the belt from the motor. You can damage belts and the steering motor if you drive with the power steering empty.
The 1997 Honda Civic DX did originally come with power steering although you could also purchase models that were stripped down versions. These did not include power steering, power windows, or power seats.
front right hand top side, has a belt drive, look for the hoses that go from the power steering fluid reservoir to the pump just a short distance away. the air conditioning compressor is below the power steering pump.
No
