13. From under the car you are now ready to install the power steering pressure and return line. The
pressure line has two straight ends on it and is smaller in diameter. The pressure line has to be
connected to the lower port on the rack and pinion assembly and goes to the banjo fitting on the top
of the power steering pump.
14. The straight fitting on the return line gets connected to the upper port on the rack and pinion
assembly and the 90

fitting goes onto the straight blue fitting on the top of the reservoir. Then tighten
all connections on both lines. Do not adjust the banjos on the rack because they will leak if moved.
You can now fill the pump with power steering fluid. Start and run the engine for 5 seconds and shut it
off. Do not turn the steering wheel. Top off the fluid and restart vehicle. While running turn the wheel
slightly right to left and shut vehicle off. Check for leaks at this point and top off fluid level again. Start
vehicle and turn SLOWLY right to left to bleed air from system. Check for leaks. Verify fluid is topped
off and get vehicle to a qualified shop for an alignment.
