Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2425 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is designed to restore factory steering precision and responsiveness while meeting or exceeding O.E. specifications. Each unit is completely remanufactured, not just rebuilt, ensuring that every internal component performs to original standards or better.
All assemblies receive 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, lip seals, and spool valve seals to guarantee leak-free operation and long service life. Each housing and rack surface is precision-machined to prevent fluid cross-leakage and maintain consistent steering feel.
A protective anti-corrosion coating is applied to every unit to extend service life, while micro-finished valve housings enhance smoothness and hydraulic reliability. Every unit undergoes rigorous hydraulic flow, pressure, and performance testing to ensure precise steering control right out of the box.
As part of CARDONE’s environmentally friendly remanufacturing process, each assembly saves up to 80% of the energy and raw materials required to produce a new part — without sacrificing strength, fitment, or durability.
