Note:

• | Use clean, new power steering fluid type only. Refer to Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations.

• | Hoses touching the frame, body or engine may cause system noise. Verify that the hoses do not touch any other part of the vehicle.

• | Loose connections may not leak, but could allow air into the steering system. Verify that all hose connections are tight.

• | Maintain the power steering fluid level throughout the bleed procedure.
