Description
The CARDONE 22-164 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is engineered to restore original steering performance and handling precision for a wide range of GM vehicles, including Buick Rendezvous, Chevrolet Venture, Pontiac Montana/Aztek, and Oldsmobile Silhouette. Each unit is completely remanufactured and tested to ensure OE-level steering feel, hydraulic assist, and durability.
