Scope
Power steering module hits the power steering reservoir when the engine rocks during acceleration after
installing our main compressor bracket. A bracket must be added to the module which will create more
clearance.
Before you start
The best time to relocate this new bracket is after the OEM alternator/power steering bracket has been
removed from the engine. Perform this step by following the included instructions when you get to Page 10,
step 7 of the Installation manual.
Instructions
If equipped, the module will be mounted to the steering box below the power steering fluid reservoir. (Figure 1)
