Precautions For Steering System

Precautions for Steering System
Before disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the unit.

Disassembly should be done in a clean work area. It is important to prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.

For easier and proper assembly, place disassembled parts in order on a parts rack.

Use nylon cloth or paper towels to clean the parts; common shop rags can leave lint that might interfere with their operation.

Before inspection or reassembly, carefully clean all parts with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent.

Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended Genuine NISSAN PSF II or equivalent to hydraulic parts. Petroleum jelly may be applied to O-rings and seals. Do not use any grease.

Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings. Avoid damaging O-rings, seals and gaskets during installation. Perform functional tests whenever designated.
