Installation Notes
Fits 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, N/A. Install an in-line filter and use OE fluid; flush the hydraulic power steering system when installing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods for warranty validation. Bleed the steering system completely after installation to remove trapped air and reduce pump noise. If the vehicle does not return to center, inspect front-end alignment and check the return line for restriction or kinks.
