I want to pull the 4WS out of my galant due to the power it has now and at high speeds the arse end feels like it just wants to skip out not good when u give it a boot full in to a tight corner hay. I think the car would handle better with it out and always wanted to do it.
any suggstions, can u by a kit to replace the arms or whats the best way about it thanks

How low is your car? I had the same problem, when it was ridiculously low.

well guys im really looking into it just got to find the parts to do it,
next weekend ill get my car up to mates workshop and get it in the air have a good look at what we need to do, and what parts are needed or if there is any custom modifications also,
want to pull the 4WS rack, pump all the lines and shit and half a tone that will come out with it, lol.
maybe there is a kit u can buy any one know or brought one,
have u noticed that the galant was the only Evo with 4ws all the Evos from 1-10 dont have 4ws due to its affect to the handling and understeer would of caused i believe.

Bloody hell thats expensive!!!
I've got my old Aspec rack sitting here doing nothing. It had a small leak where one of the lines attached but that turned out to just be an oring.
The rack itself is pretty easy to pull apart and fix yourself if you need to.

How much time do you spend in a parking lot with your performance car? If you do a lot of parking lot driving, and hang out in parking lots, chances are you are a ricer, go home and read import tuner. If you’re complaining about noise you should not be modifying your car. You should also consider no longer being a man, please hand in your genitals at the door.

Sorry, I meant to say to Kayarubin that I have a complete front rack sitting here doing nothing as I have converted mine to manual steering now.
I removed my 4ws years ago and haven't had a single problem with the rear end since.
The RS VR4's without 4WS have the same suspension style setup in the rear as the ones with 4WS. The only real difference is the lack of the rack etc.
In the USA they call it 'passive rear steer'

I had similar issues, i hated the 4WS, maybe the height of my car didnt help...

In the end i simply disconnected the rear tie rod ends, it fixed it, the pump still ran etc, i got told i may burn it out, it never did though..
It was the best thing i did for my car...after the ensuing shitfight that occured on the forum here when i posted asking about it..lol...ah the old days, and the 4WS purists..hahah....Entaran where are you!!! :w00t:
