What It Helps Address

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front inner position before installation. The 1989-1991 Dodge Colt application requires a 46.13mm press-fit diameter, so confirm the steering gear interface before ordering. Because GEV196 is non-adjustable, alignment should be checked after steering component replacement. Use the included hardware where required and follow factory service procedures for torque and inspection.
