Installation Notes and Tips

For 1995 Nissan Maxima installation, use an in-line filter and OE fluid, and 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 whine. If the steering does not return to center, check front-end alignment and inspect the return line for restriction or kinking.
