Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 36-spline input shaft, 17.4 mm steering input shaft diameter, and female inlet and outlet fittings before installation. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model: Fits 2004-2011 Toyota Camry, N/A; Fits 2007-2012 Lexus ES350, N/A. Because mounting hardware and outer tie rods are not included, transfer or source the required related components as needed. After installation, bleed the hydraulic system and inspect for leaks, proper steering effort, and centered wheel position.
