Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Clean the steering gear bore and shaft surface thoroughly, and inspect for scoring or wear that could affect sealing. Use the correct service procedure for the steering gear being repaired, especially on older Ford F-Series, Econoline, Thunderbird, and Mercury applications where configuration notes such as standard steering or Ross steering apply.
