Common Questions


HOW DO I BLEED, OR PURGE AIR, FROM MY STEERING GEAR BOX SYSTEM?
1.    After installing the gearbox, fill the system with fluid.
2.    Raise the front wheels off the ground, do not start the vehicle.
3.    Work the steering wheel back and forth, lock to lock, 15-20 times.
4.    Leave the vehicle sit (overnight is best) at least 2 hours
5.    Top the pump reservoir off again.
6.    Work the steering wheel back and forth again 7-10 times
7.    Have a person in the vehicle and another at the pump reservoir with a container of fluid & funnel ready to pour if necessary.
8.    Instruct the person in the vehicle to start the engine. As soon as this happens, if the fluid level drops, be ready to pour in more fluid. The level must be kept at an almost full level or it will suck in air again.
9.    If this procedure is followed properly, the air problem will be solved.

WHAT POWER STEERING FLUID SHOULD I USE?
RedHead highly recommends using the same fluid that the manufacturer of your vehicle recommends. It is always best to use a name-brand fluid. Their power steering gears are tested under pressure with Dexron 3 ATF before they leave the factory. If you decide to change from what the manufacturer recommends then Dexron 3, or comparable fluid, is an acceptable alternative.

ARE REDHEAD GEARBOXES SENT OUT IN CENTER POSITION?
Yes, they are sent out on center.

It's OK but needed adjustment
KA (Evergreen) | May 2nd, 2026
Redhead steering gear for my 2002 F250 was purchased to replace the original gear, with 97K miles on it and lots of play. Redtop preload was adjusted too tightly, and there was significant resistance when trying to center. Wheels would not recenter and had major memory steer. Had to back off adjustment by >1/4 turn. Would not pay the price for this product again. Be advised, $65 to ship core back. Clever tactic on the warranty void if preload is changed. Either I adjust it or take it out and get another -possibly- bad adjusted gear from Redhead. This is not an XDP issue but a Redhead re-manu problem.
