Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, verify the vehicle option codes and steering system configuration on the Service Parts Identification sticker. For warranty-related service guidance, CARDONE recommends installing an in-line filter where available, using the suggested OE fluid, and flushing the system thoroughly. The steering system must be bled completely after installation to remove air and prevent pump noise. If the vehicle does not return to center, inspect front-end alignment and check the return line for restriction or kinks.
