Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the input shaft diameter, mounting-hole spacing, port thread sizes, and rack length before installation on a Volkswagen Vanagon. Because inner tie rods are not included, confirm the condition of the existing tie rod assemblies and related steering linkage before reassembly. After installation, inspect for leaks, center the steering wheel, and perform a professional alignment.
