Product Description
The CARDONE 22-1003 Remanufactured Rack and Pinion Assembly is engineered and reconditioned to meet or exceed OE performance and durability standards. Every unit is equipped with 100% new OE-style O-rings and lip seals to provide long-lasting, leak-free steering performance. Precision surfacing of internal rack components ensures proper chamber sealing, preventing hydraulic cross-leaks and extending service life.
Each rack undergoes complete performance and hydraulic testing—verifying correct pressure, flow, steering effort, and overall function. New spool valve seals and rack donut seals are installed to eliminate internal leakage, while polished micro-finish sleeves in the valve housing (where applicable) enhance durability under demanding conditions. A protective external coating guards against corrosion and wear.
As an OE-remanufactured component, the 22-1003 ensures a perfect fit, proper steering geometry, and a direct bolt-on installation for dependable, factory-quality steering response. CARDONE’s remanufacturing process also reduces the environmental impact by using up to 80% less raw material and energy than producing a new unit.
