Power Steering Pump: Installation

1. Install power steering pump back on power steering pump mounting bracket, in reverse order of removal. Install 3 power steering pump to mounting bracket attaching bolts. Make sure power steering pump is seated squarely against mounting bracket. Then, tighten 3 mounting bolts to 23 N.m (200 INCH lbs.). Install power steering return hose on fitting of power steering pump fluid reservoir.
2. Then install hose clamp on return hose. Be sure clamp is installed on hose, so it is passed upset bead on power steering fluid reservoir fitting. Install power steering pressure hose in power steering pump discharge fitting. Tighten power steering pressure hose tube nut to 29 N.m (252 INCH lbs.).
3. Install serpentine accessory drive belt on power steering pump pulley. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 for correct serpentine accessory drive belt routing. Install air cleaner assembly using following procedure:
   • Install both air cleaner assembly, clean air hoses on throttle bodies.
   • Line up 3 fastener holes in air cleaner housing with 2 j-nut locations on radiator support and 1 on cross-car beam.

   • Be sure both clean air hoses are fully installed on inlets of throttle bodies then tighten hose clamps to 3 N m (25 INCH lbs.).
   • Torque 3 air cleaner assembly attaching screws to 3 N m (25 INCH lbs).
   • Install wiring harness connector onto charge air temperature sensor in air cleaner housing.
   • Install crank case vent and Idle Air Control (IAC) hoses onto their fittings in air cleaner housing.
   CAUTION: Do not use automatic transmission fluid in power steering system. Only use Mopar(R) Power Steering Fluid or equivalent.
