- Contaminated steering fluid caused by heat-related varnishing
- Hard steering or inconsistent assist from a failing rack and pinion
- Repeat steering failures when the full hydraulic system is not serviced
Installation Notes
Inspect the pump, hydraulic lines, and fluid condition before installation. On 1993-1994 Lexus LS400 models, heat exposure in the engine compartment can contaminate the entire steering system, so flushing or replacing related components is recommended during service. Verify whether the vehicle is equipped with an electronic solenoid and confirm the replacement unit matches that configuration.

| Year | Make | Model | Position | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1994 | Lexus | LS400 | N/A | The operating temperature within the engine compartment exceeds the tolerance of the seals throughout the hydraulic system. Over time this results in the hydraulic fluid "varnishing" within the steering unit, hydraulic lines and pump. This "varnishing" results in contamination throughout the system. Maval utilizes high temperature seals and recommends a complete replacement of the steering system in order to avoid contamination related problems. Refer to instruction sheet packet 656080.
