Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the input shaft spline count, shaft diameters, port thread sizes, and mounting-hole layout before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses the 3.2 or 4.1 lock-to-lock configuration and match the housing style noted for Monte Carlo and Monza applications. Transfer or source the correct pitman arm separately, since it is not included. After installation, inspect the steering linkage, fluid condition, and front-end alignment to complete the repair.
