Install your power steering lines to the correct

If using a stainless steel line kit, follow the instructions provided with your kit.
Note: If using the original power steering pump, you must first flush the pump of any power steering fluid.
Contaminated power steering fluid may cause damage to the new rack and pinion.
Note: If the power steering fluid is foamy, let the vehicle sit for 10 minutes and then repeat the bleeding procedure.
Note: Trapped air in the system will cause a milky appearance in the fluid. Trapped air will also cause the fluid level
to rise in the reservoir when the engine is not running.
