Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2143 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is designed to restore steering precision, reliability, and responsiveness to O.E. performance levels. Each unit is completely remanufactured, tested, and validated to meet or exceed original factory specifications.
All racks undergo extensive disassembly and inspection, followed by the installation of 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, lip seals, and spool valve seals to ensure leak-free operation and consistent performance. Each unit is hydraulically and performance tested for proper flow, pressure, and steering feel.
The housing and internal components are machined to exact tolerances to eliminate internal leaks, while a protective coating defends against corrosion. Precision-polished valve housings enhance steering smoothness and longevity.
As part of CARDONE’s environmentally friendly remanufacturing process, this unit conserves resources by using up to 80% less energy and raw materials than new part production—without sacrificing quality or durability.
