Common Steering Issues This Part May Address

• Excessive steering play or delayed steering response
• Fluid leakage from a worn hydraulic rack assembly
• Binding, rough steering, or inconsistent assist
• Noise from internal rack wear or damaged bushings
• Wear-related looseness in the inner tie rod area

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm hydraulic port thread sizes, mounting-hole spacing, and input shaft dimensions before installation. Because outer tie rods are not included, reuse or replace them as needed during service. After installation, bleed the power steering system and perform a professional alignment to verify steering wheel center and road tracking.

Quality Assurance

BBB Industries remanufactures steering components to service OE-style applications with attention to fitment-specific dimensions and hydraulic connection points. Verify the part number 305-0169 against the vehicle’s steering configuration before ordering.
