ACDelco 36G0118 Steering Gear

Description:

Features and Benefits:

• All seals and O-rings are replaced with 100% new parts to extend the life of the product, helping to guarantee reliability
• Gear housings are bead blasted, thoroughly washed, closely inspected, and rust-proofed prior to assembly to minimize corrosion
• Multiple cleaning and washing stations, with regular contamination audits, for every component inside the rack and pinion minimize internal contamination and increase part service life
• Recirculating bearings are replaced with new and matched sets to provide correct steering feel and performance
• Sealing surfaces are restored and polished to maximize sealing and help ensure long service life
• – After any service of the power steering system, always bleed the air from the system and verify proper system operation. An accurate fluid level cannot be obtained unless air is bled from the steering system. The air in the fluid may cause pump cavitation noise as well as pump damage over a period of time.
• – Always check the specific manufacturer's service information for the correct power steering fluid to use. Different fluids are specified by manufacturers to meet the operating requirements of their power steering systems. On some modern steering systems, brake fluids or transmission fluids may not be compatible with pump components. Using the wrong fluid could cause hose and seal damage as well as fluid leaks.
• – Check power steering fluid levels periodically and add fluid when necessary.
• – Have your vehicle inspected if it exhibits any of the following symptoms: unusual noise when turning the steering wheel, a shimmy or shake in the steering wheel, heavy or unresponsive steering at low speeds or during parking lot maneuvers, and/or the steering wheel does not return to center properly.
• – If you live in areas that experience harsh winter weather, have the entire steering system inspected before winter arrives to help ensure safer driving.
• – It is a good idea to replace O-rings when doing any steering system service.
• – Keep in mind that fluid color is not an indication of fluid condition.
