Description
The CARDONE 22-1042E Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is expertly engineered to restore precise steering performance and original equipment reliability to GM crossovers like the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook.
Each unit is completely remanufactured and tested to meet or exceed factory specifications. CARDONE’s advanced process includes 100% hydraulic and performance testing, ensuring smooth steering assist, proper flow rates, and no internal or external leaks. New OE-style O-rings, seals, and valve components are installed to deliver leak-free operation and extended service life.
A protective anti-corrosion coating shields the housing for long-term durability, and the included Electronic Variable Orifice (EVO) component ensures proper compatibility with vehicles equipped with Variable Effort Steering (NV7) systems.
Remanufactured in an eco-conscious process that reduces raw material and energy use by up to 80% compared to new production.
