Installation Notes and Tips
- Fits 2000-2002 Ford Focus, N/A, reservoir not included; in-line filter, OE fluid, and system flush required for warranty.
- Fits 2003 Ford Focus, N/A, before 12/01/2002; reservoir not included; in-line filter available; use suggested OE fluid and flush the system for warranty purposes.
- Inspect the pulley before installation; a loose pulley fit usually means the original pulley must be replaced.
- Flush the system and bleed air thoroughly after installation to reduce noise and contamination-related issues.
- If assist is present only at higher engine rpm, inspect the flow control valve and clean the valve bore before re-testing.
Quality Assurance
Cardone remanufacturing includes testing of critical internal components and a final hydraulic efficiency check to verify pressure, flow, bypass, valve function, steering effort, and noise. The process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with manufacturing a new part.
