Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Suzuki Swift +, 2005 Pontiac Wave, and 2005 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Install the bushing and a new lower pinion valve seal.
- Coat all the seals with power steering fluid to ensure proper sealing.
- 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.
CAUTION:
Refer to Safety Glasses Caution
in Cautions and Notices.
NOTE:
Use extreme care when installing the valve and pinion assembly from the steering gear housing, otherwise the valve and pinion assembly, bearing, steering gear housing, or seal could be damaged.
