Really??? You wait 4 minutes for someone to respond. Just relaxes.
Try turning the steering wheel with the car running and then with the car off while parked. If it is easier with the engine on then you do indeed have power steering.

The DX hatchback came with power steering only if it also had automatic transmission. The Si hatchback was only offered in manual transmission, and no power steering. But since Civic parts are readily swapped, the only way to know for sure with a used car is to inspect that particular car.

Really?
I thought power steering only came on the 4door sedans...
The Si hatchback was also offered in automatic in Canada I believe, someone verify if they know for certain.
I have seen a few auto DX's running around, I should start checking this out.... I stripped power steering from a sedan, planning on putting it on a hatchback.
