If you searched you should have a ton of results.... since I'm here, might as well clue you in. Hicas steering is a system that steers your rear wheels in conjucntion with your front wheels at a moderate speed turn. It does not turn the rear wheels to the same degree as the front but enough to help in making tigher turns. To find out if you have hicas there are a few things you can look for. First, look for a sticker on the side of the car right in front of the rear wheels on the quarter panel, it should say hicas. Second, look at the power steering resivoir. If it's a tall black canister and has a wire comming out of the cap, you have a Hicas resivoir, then check the power steering pump, it should have 4 lines, 2 to the front steering rack and 2 to the rear steering rack. If you have all these, you have hicas. One added bonus with Hicas, you have a vlsd unit. Factory Limited Slip Differential.
