Product Description
The CARDONE 22-238 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is engineered and rigorously tested to restore original steering performance and precision. Each unit is fully disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt to meet or exceed O.E. standards, ensuring smooth, reliable operation and leak-free performance.
All internal seals, O-rings, and bushings are replaced with 100% new O.E.-style components, and the housing is finished with a protective coating that prevents corrosion and extends service life. Every rack undergoes comprehensive hydraulic and performance testing to verify proper flow, pressure, and steering responsiveness. CARDONE’s sustainable remanufacturing process uses up to 80% less energy and raw material compared to new production, supporting both quality and environmental responsibility.
