today when I was trying to find out what was wrong with my power steering i noticed that one of plugs on the wiring harness wasn't plugged in and then found out and the sensor was missing

now would i need a whole new rack and pinion or could i just buy the sensor itself and install it?

 

The sensor is not sold as a part, so if it's gone it means a replacement rack......

 

Yep, just looked through the work shop manual, more or less says the same as Team said. How did you rip it out of the rack ? Do you have the under tray installed ?

 

First time I've heard of a sensor missing...............How'd you do that?

 

i didnt have a undertray installed some months ago while i was driving the ps light came on, not sure what happened but the sensor itself looks chewed up and deteriorated

looks like i'll be getting a whole new rack


if your wondering why i never bothered when it first went out, driving without power steering hasn't been a big issue with me unless im at a complete stop trying to parallel park

 

hey guys if anyone could help me out, i found a wrecked rx8 on craiglist and was wondering if i could just get the sensor itself off the rack and pinion and use it with mine

 

Go see.

Tell us if it's possible.....

 

ill take your advice on the 2nd post i'm reading over the removal of the rack, http://www.rotaryheads.com/PDF/RX8/8Steering.PDF
