IMPORTANT: When the valve and pinion assembly is fully seated in the housing, be sure the notch in the stub shaft and the mark on the
housing line up. If this is not done the vehicle will not pass the straight-ahead check and will have poor steering performance.
2. Install the valve and pinion assembly, the stub shaft bearing annulus assembly and the stub shaft dust seal.
NOTICE: If the stub shaft is not held, damage to the pinion teeth will occur.
3. While holding the stub shaft, tighten the locknut onto the pinion shaft.
