Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and Gear To Pipe routing before installation. Compare the end fittings, hose length, and line path to the original part to confirm correct placement. Inspect adjacent steering components, clamps, and mounting points for wear before reassembly. Because bracket inclusion is not listed for this part, reuse or source any required mounting hardware separately if your vehicle uses it.
