Installation Notes
Compatible with 1994-1998 Mitsubishi Galant applications listed above. Install an in-line filter and use OE fluid; flush the hydraulic power steering system during installation. Bleed the system completely after installation to remove air and reduce pump whine. If the steering does not return to center, inspect front-end alignment and check the return line for restriction or kinks.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone electronic power steering rack and pinion assembly is remanufactured to rigorous quality and performance standards, then factory test driven to confirm operation under demanding conditions. Rubber sealing components are replaced, and the remanufacturing process reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
