Default Steering Question

This is probably a stupid question. Anyhow, i just replaced my oil pan gasket, and to do that i had to drop the center link and unhook my steering cylinder and the fluid drained out. When i put it all back together do i just fill up the fluid and go or do i do some kind of bleeding like when you bleed your brakes?

That's strange, where did the fluid drain out from? I'm always dropping that when I pull the pan and never get a leak (not counting the steady leak it already has :lol: )

Fill the tank and leave the cap off for air to escape system. Turn the steering wheel lock to lock a few times. Refill the tank leaving the cap off. Start car...turn steering wheel lock to lock again. Check fluid...replace cap....do a burnout!!! The last part is very important :D :yesnod: :D :yesnod: After driving it around a bit...check fluid again. Should be good to go
