Description
The CARDONE 22-184 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is designed to restore precise steering control and OE-level performance for GM midsize vehicles, including Chevrolet Malibu, Oldsmobile Alero, and Pontiac Grand Am. Built to meet or exceed original equipment standards, each rack and pinion undergoes comprehensive re-engineering, precision machining, and 100% testing for flow, pressure, and performance.
This assembly features all-new O.E.-style seals and O-rings, ensuring leak-free operation and smooth hydraulic response. Each valve housing is micro-polished for durability, while the rack surfaces are machined to precise tolerances to prevent fluid leakage and extend service life.
