Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with Nissan 200SX and Sentra models before installation. Since bushings and outer tie rods are not included, inspect these components and replace if necessary.

Bleed the hydraulic steering system thoroughly after installation to remove air and ensure optimal performance.
