Installation Notes and Tips
Verify hydraulic line condition, tie rod end thread compatibility, and steering system alignment before installation. For Nissan Sentra vehicles, inspect the power steering pump if assist concerns remain after replacing the steering unit; debris in the system can damage internal pump valves and restrict assist to the steering gear. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment and confirm proper steering wheel centering.
