REPAIR PROCEDURE
*NOTE:
Some vehicles affected by Service Bulletin 08-016, Safety Recall: 2004-08 TL Power Steering Feed Hose Leak, were not correctly repaired in that the
power steering inlet joint 0-ring was not replaced. Before you replace the inlet joint 0-ring in this procedure, check its color:
^ If the 0-ring is not colored orange, it was not previously replaced, and this repair will correct the power steering noise at cold start-up.
^ If the 0-ring is orange, it was already replaced under S/B 08-016. Continue with normal troubleshooting to find the cause of the noise.*
1. Remove the right side engine compartment cover (7 clips and 1 bolt).
2. Remove the bolt holding the inlet joint to the power steering pump housing.
