1. Before installing the steering gearbox, make sure that no power steering fluid is on the mating surface of the gearbox and a front suspension
subframe. To prevent the gearbox mounting bolts from loosening after the installation, remove any power steering fluid from the mount cushions
and bolt holes.
2. Apply a mild soap and water solution to both sides of the mount cushion mating surfaces (A).
3. Pass the cylinder of the steering gearbox (B) through the wheelwell opening on the driver's side.
4. Carefully move the steering gearbox toward the passenger's side until the pinion shaft clears the wheelwell opening on the body.
5. Rotate the steering gearbox so the pinion shaft (A) points upward.
6. Continue moving the gearbox toward the passenger's side until the steering gearbox is in position. Make sure the power steering return line and
feed line are routed above the gearbox.
7. Remove the vinyl tape from the pinion shaft, and install the pinion shaft grommet (A). Align the slot in the pinion shaft grommet with the lug
portion (B) on the valve housing.
