Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hydraulic power steering configuration before ordering. Confirm port thread sizes, input shaft dimensions, and rack length against the original unit to ensure proper fit. Because outer tie rods are not included, reuse or replace those components as needed during service. After installation, perform a professional alignment and inspect the hydraulic system for leaks and proper steering operation.
