5. You can now install the provided bushing and bearing into the bottom of the column by centering it

over the opening and tapping it into place lightly with a hammer. Do this with the new column shaft in
the column tube.

6. You are now ready to install the rack. First be sure the rack is centered. There is a mark on the pinion

and the housing that will line up when centered. When that is done, from under the car you can install
the mount bracket between the frame rails and using the provided hardware install the 4-

1/4” long

bolts through the frame rails on the driver and passenger side. Note the only hole that gets the
shorter 4” bolt is the very top bolt on the driver side. Once you have the bolts through you can install
the column support bracket over the rack bracket using the lower 2 bolts on the driver side. Install the
flat washers and lock nuts at this time but do not tighten.
