Always install the in-line filter where specified, use OE-specified power steering fluid, and flush the system before startup. If the original pulley has been removed from a damaged shaft, inspect it closely; a cracked pulley or enlarged bore should be replaced. If steering assist is only present at higher engine rpm, check for contamination in the flow control valve and inspect the steering system for binding.
