Installation Notes and Tips

Verify steering configuration, suspension package, and line fitting match before installation. This assembly uses female inlet and outlet fittings and a hydraulic design, so line routing and seal condition should be checked during replacement. Confirm the steering input shaft diameter and mounting hole layout against the original unit before final assembly. The included inner tie rods and gasket or seal can help streamline the swap on compatible Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee applications.
