Inspect the shaft surface for scoring or corrosion, and clean the sealing area thoroughly before assembly. For 1976-1977 Mercury Capri steering repairs, confirm the application against the original seal dimensions and steering gear configuration. Part number SS2208 should be matched carefully to the vehicle’s steering gear requirements.
