• Noise or rough operation from a worn steering gear
• Uneven or inconsistent steering response
• Failure of internal rack and pinion components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the steering input shaft diameter, line fitting sizes, and mounting hole layout before installation. Because mounting hardware and brackets are not included, reuse or source the required vehicle-specific components as needed. After installation, bleed the hydraulic steering system and inspect all connections for leaks and proper steering feel.
