Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2039 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly restores precise steering feel and performance while maintaining the reliability of the original equipment design. Each unit is completely re-engineered, built, and tested to meet or exceed O.E. standards for fit and function.
Every rack is disassembled, cleaned, and inspected for wear and damage before being reassembled with 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, lip seals, and spool valve seals to ensure leak-free, long-lasting performance. All hydraulic circuits are tested for proper flow, pressure, and leakage to guarantee consistent performance and steering response.
A protective anti-corrosion coating is applied to extend service life, and precision-surfaced rack components prevent fluid bypass and premature wear. CARDONE’s remanufacturing process uses up to 80% less energy and raw material compared to new part production, offering an eco-friendly alternative without sacrificing quality.
