CARDONE - Reman - Rack and Pinion Assembly - 1G-2696

Description:
The CARDONE 1G-2696 Remanufactured Electronic Power Steering Rack and Pinion restores the precision steering and reliability of your factory system at a fraction of the cost of a new OEM unit. Each assembly is engineered and remanufactured to exceed OE performance standards, featuring all-new seals, bushings, and bearings for long-lasting performance.
Before leaving the facility, every unit undergoes CARDONE’s Factory Test Drive — a comprehensive diagnostic process simulating real driving conditions to verify EPS communication, steering feel, and mechanical integrity. A protective coating shields the assembly from corrosion, while a specialized lubricant ensures smooth operation for years to come. Built for direct-fit installation, this EPS rack provides factory-quality performance and effortless handling.
