Installation of new steering box:

Install the new steering box to frame using hardware saved from the original box. Install the provided

aftermarket steering box brace it may be necessary to elongate the holes in the steering box brace in
order to properly attach it to the steering box.

Bring the steering box to its center position using the steering box input shaft.
 Using the threaded adjusting sleeve on the drag link, adjust the end link in 3/8” to compensate for the
spacers on the new steering box. (See photo below)

steering shaft collar.

With the front end of the vehicle raised so the front wheels are just off the ground, rotate the steering
wheel from one direction to the other and check the function of the newly installed components.

Flush any remaining old P/S fluid from the power steering system before connecting to the new box.

Connect power steering hoses. Insure fittings are sealed and properly tightened and then slowly fill the
pump with the recommended power steering fluid for your vehicle.

With the engine running check new system for leaks and bleed off any air trapped in the system by slowly
turning the wheel full left to full right with the wheels off the ground. Be sure to keep fluid full.
