• Poor return-to-center behavior after steering input

Installation Notes

Fits 2010-2017 GMC Terrain, N/A, with 19" wheels and hydraulic power steering. Fits 2010-2015 Chevrolet Equinox, N/A, with 19" wheels and hydraulic power steering. For warranty purposes, install an in-line filter, use the suggested OE fluid, and flush the steering system before operation. Bleed the system completely after installation to remove air and prevent pump whine.

Check front-end alignment after replacement. If the vehicle does not return to center, inspect the alignment and the power steering return line for restriction or kinking.

Quality Assurance

Each unit is remanufactured to rigorous quality and performance standards, then factory test driven under extreme operating conditions to confirm steering operation and on-car communication. Rubber sealing components are replaced, and a specialized lubricant is applied to support durability and service life. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
