Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, inspect the steering system for contamination, binding components, and pulley condition. If the original pulley was removed from a mushroomed shaft or shows cracking, replace the pulley rather than reusing it. Flush the system, install the supplied seal kit, and use the OE-specified fluid. If assist is present only at higher engine rpm, check for debris in the flow control valve bore and verify the steering gear and hoses are not restricted.

The unit is built with premium high-temperature seals, precise bushing alignment, and computer load testing to verify performance under operating conditions.
