Product Description
The CARDONE 22-279 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly delivers factory-quality steering performance through precision engineering and extensive testing. Each unit is completely remanufactured using new O.E.-style seals, O-rings, and bushings, ensuring long-lasting reliability and leak-free operation.
Every rack is hydraulically tested to confirm proper flow, pressure, and performance. Racks and housings are surfaced to prevent internal leakage and maintain smooth, consistent steering feel. A protective corrosion-resistant coating further enhances durability, while each valve housing is micro-polished for optimal longevity.
CARDONE’s environmentally responsible remanufacturing process reduces energy and raw material consumption by up to 80% compared to new production—all while maintaining original equipment quality, fit, and performance.
